Ways to Give
Students and Faculty at MSASS benefit directly from the support of alumni and friends
received through the Annual Fund and gifts for specific projects or programs. The development
staff works with donors to assure that the gift process is as efficient as possible and that every
gift is directed to the specific purpose requested by the donor.
Annual Fund
Contributions to the Annual Fund are made for an academic year (July 1 through June 30) and
are used solely for student scholarships. Gifts of any size are welcomed. All gifts are fully
tax-deductible and donors are recognized in MSASS Action.

Fund.
Endowments
Gifts may be made at any time to the General Endowment of Mandel School of Applied Social
Sciences. This fund provides operational support for the School as well as funds for
scholarships and special projects. Permanent endowment funds may also be established in the
name of the donor or to honor an individual with a gift of $20,000 or more. The purpose for
the fund is designated by the donor. Endowment funds are invested by the University.
The School receives annually about 5% of its endowment market value to spend on operations or
specified by donors. The balance of the investment earnings are retained and reinvested in
the fund to allow it to grow.
Named Academic Professorships
Current Listing
A gift of $1,500,000 will establish a permanent endowment to support activities in an area of
social work designated by the donor and is named in honor of the donor. The professorship is
held by a faculty member, appointed by the Dean, who is a leader in the social work field.
Funds are invested by the University for the benefit of MSASS and income from the fund is used to
provide support for the professorship. For more information, contact Anne Marie Cronin at
216-368-2311.
Named Scholarship Funds
Current Listing
Donors may endow a fund in their own name or to honor an individual and may designate the
area of scholarship of the student recipient. A gift of $20,000 will establish this permanent
endowment. Students are awarded scholarships on an annual basis. Recipients are selected
based on criteria and awards are decided by a committee of staff and the Dean.
