Operational Endowments

Operational endowments provide an opportunity for donors to help fund specific projects that ensure the university provides students and faculty with a great learning environment and materials, leading to a higher level of success. The most current example is the Fellers Family Auditorium Endowment, funding the remodeling of Northwestern's main public auditorium. The foundation also has three current operational library endowments which help provide materials and lecturers. The Annette Parker Library Fund, the Friends of the Library Endowment, and the Alice Criswell Schnitzer Memorial Endowed Lectureship for the library are continuing projects where funding directly impacts students with much-needed academic materials and lectures.

These endowments provide great opportunities for our students and our university community. If you have other interests you would like to help fund, don't hesitate to get in touch with Skeeter Bird, CEO at 580-327-8593.
