Chapter 11 - endowments

What is the difference between a permanent endowment, a term endowment, and a quasi-endowment?

1 comment:

  1. Term Endowment: if a donor were to contribute to give certain amount of money with instructions to invest for certain amount of period and then released, then this would be term endowment
    Permanent Endowment: permanently restricted contributions for endowments and for plant and museum collections that are intended to be maintained permanently.
    Quasi Endowment: If a donor gave certain amount of money as an unrestricted gift, but the institution's governing board decided to create an endowment, this would be quasi endowment and it would unrestricted.
