§ 628.6 What definitions apply to the Endowment Challenge Grant Program?

The following definitions apply to the regulations in this part:

Endowment fund means a fund which excludes real estate and which is established by State law, by an institution, or by a foundation that is exempt from taxation and is maintained for the purpose of generating income for the support of the institution. The principal or corpus of the fund may not be spent. “Endowment fund” includes “quasi-endowment fund”.

Endowment fund corpus means an amount equal to the endowment challenge grant or grants awarded under this part plus matching funds provided by the institution.

Endowment fund income means an amount equal to the total value of the endowment fund established under the grant minus the endowment fund corpus.

Quasi-endowment fund means a fund which the governing board of an institution or foundation establishes to function as an endowment in that the principal is to be retained and invested. However, the entire principal and income may be spent at any time at the discretion of the governing board.
