Endowed Funds

ENDOWED FUNDS
 
As funds held in perpetuity, endowments generate revenue for scholarships, educational programs, athletics, faculty enrichment, and many other areas critical to the success of the schools and museum. A generous endowment gives an institution confidence that it can remain true to its mission regardless of a challenging economy. The Board of Trustees currently uses a 4.0% payout rate for Webb and a 5.0% payout rate for the Alf Museum. All funds above this amount are reinvested for continued growth as a hedge against inflation. Endowed funds are managed by Goldman Sachs & Co., a global leader in investment research, strategy, and management. We are forever grateful to the individuals and families listed below whose generosity secures the future of The Webb Schools and the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology.
 
Endowment fund categories reflect the greater of the book or market value. This list is up to date as of 6/30/2024.
