Endowment Reports

Those who establish an endowed scholarship or endowed fund receive a report each year providing financial performance for the fiscal year ending June 30. The report provides the market value of your fund at the start and end of the fiscal year along with distribution information. Included is the endowment rate of return.


Endowment Spending Policy

The spending policy determines the payout amount distributed from the endowment to support its designated purposes. USM鈥檚 payout is governed by a five percent spending policy that considers both the long-term and short-term needs of the university. The payout is five percent of the average of the total endowment market value for 13 rolling quarters. This stewardship of the endowment enables USM to meet its obligations to financially grow the endowment while ensuring support to student scholarships, academics, and capital infrastructure over the long term. The University Board of Trustees Finance and Investment Committee reviews and approves the spending rate policy on an annual basis.
