Named Endowed Funds

Catawba College is fortunate to have alumni, friends, and businesses who have generously contributed funds to establish named endowments for the purpose of providing support for people, programs and facilities. The principal of an endowment gift is invested by the College, and a portion of the annual interest earned is used to support the purpose selected by the donor.
