Financial Resources
The development of the Lewis & Clark campus and the growth of its endowment fund have been made possible through the generosity of alumni, trustees, parents, and many friends. On May 31, 2008, the market value of the endowment was $234 million, and the market value of trusts was $12.4 million.
As an independent, nonprofit college, Lewis & Clark has benefited from an ongoing flow of gifts and grants in support of its programs. Annual gifts provide funds for scholarship support, for specific projects, and for operating expenditures, while capital gifts have provided the major campus buildings. Major gifts, bequests, and trusts make possible endowed professorships, scholarships, lectureships, awards, and specific programs. Lewis & Clark is grateful to those who have made possible the permanent endowed funds listed below.
