Building the Endowment

Gifts to the Endowment Fund are an investment in the future of Loyola High School and help to ensure that Loyola can continue to maintain the same level of socio-economic diversity in its student body as well as the same high standard of academic excellence for which it is known. A strong endowment provides stable financial support for generations to come.

Endowed funds are held for a minimum of ten years. The revenue generated from these investments provides guaranteed income to Loyola year after year. The investment objective of the Loyola High School Foundation is to enhance the value of the portfolio to provide a dependable, increasing source of income to be used to achieve the long-term objectives of the school. The income is used for the purposes designated by the donor, or if undesignated, at the discretion of the Foundation.

The endowment is managed by the Investment Committee of the Foundation Board, whose responsibilities in the area of investment administration are to:

• Recommend to the Board policies for the management of the endowment
• Make recommendations to the Board on the selection of portfolio managers
• Determine the asset mix
• Monitor the management of the portfolio in order to enhance return and to control risk

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the school’s endowment currently stands at $6,000,000 and provides a substantial annual contribution to the school’s bursary programme.

Any amount may be contributed to the endowment fund or to any previously established named bursary. The minimum amount required to establish a named endowed bursary is currently $60,000, the annual income from which covers half of a student’s tuition.
