Endowed Gifts
An endowment fund is a permanent, self-sustaining major gift to support the needs of VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center. Each year, a portion of the value of the fund is paid out to support the fund’s purpose, and any earnings in excess of this distribution are used to build the fund’s market value. Endowments have both immediate and permanent benefits for the institution, helping to recruit and retain the best scientists and physician-researchers to named chair and professorship positions, and provide critical research funding. Endowments may be named according to the wishes of the donor in line with VCU naming standards. By establishing an endowment, donors create a permanent legacy of support for Massey.
