Endowment Funds
Endowments are individually named permanent funds that provide annual renewable support for donor-designated IFAS teaching, research or extension programs and areas of interest. Endowments are managed and invested by the University of Florida Foundation through the University of Florida Investment Corporation (UFICO). There are more than 250 privately funded IFAS endowments established by individual College of Agricultural and Life Sciences alumni, agricultural businesses, associations and friends of UF/IFAS. An initial minimum gift of $30,000 is required to create an endowment.
