Leadership Giving at IMSA
IMSA Fund's generous donors play a strong role in IMSA's most important initiatives. By giving at the leadership level, they provide the necessary momentum for getting a major project off the ground and inspiring others to give. These gifts are especially valuable because they help meet important needs - enabling IMSA to bring dedicated and driving faculty and staff, maintain critical support for our programs and curriculum, and augment facilities as growth dictates.
IMSA Fund Establishes Endowment Program
Primary Fund Named to Honor IMSA’s Founding President.
In November 2006, the IMSA Fund Board of Directors voted to establish an endowment program. To honor Dr. Stephanie Pace Marshall’s 20 years of stellar leadership as IMSA’s founding President, the Board has named the primary endowment fund the Stephanie Pace Marshall Endowment to Ignite Innovation.
The Marshall Endowment fund will provide annual support for IMSA to seed innovation, build strategic capacity and respond to significant unanticipated opportunities, as approved by the IMSA Fund Board. This fund will give IMSA much-needed agility and flexibility it simply does not have with state appropriations and restricted grants and gifts.
Gifts of any amount will be accepted for the Marshall Endowment Fund.
In addition to the Marshall Endowment fund, the IMSA Fund will now accept contributions for named endowment funds restricted for specific programs or projects of interest to a donor and to IMSA. A minimum initial gift of $20,000 is required to establish a fund.
