<h2><br />CAS Endowment</h2>
<ul>
<li> A minimal CAS endowment of $17,700 was created when the College was formed in 1995.</li>
<li>The endowment serves as a perpetual source of unrestricted income for the CAS development fund through interest distributions on the endowment principle.</li>
<li>Only the interest generated from the endowment may be used to fund CAS needs.</li>
</ul>

<p>Growth of the CAS endowment is directly linked to our ability to stay abreast of increasing student, faculty and program needs. Building a “healthier” endowment through new gifts will put CAS in a better position to offset future reductions in state funding and allow us to maintain superior academic programs for students and support for dedicated faculty.</p>
