Investing in Lincoln’s Endowment

Creating a New Endowment

Lincoln School is grateful to those donors who have established permanent endowment funds to strengthen the financial foundation of our School.  Gifts to our Endowment help ensure the School’s long-term financial health by providing a fund—held in perpetuity—that is invested to provide income to support the specific program for which it is given.  A portion of our endowed funds are reinvested to ensure that the purchasing power of our endowment keeps up with the rate of inflation and, whenever possible, provides for appreciated growth of the fund.  Help us make Lincoln stronger by investing in our future with a gift to the endowment.

Many donors haves established a permanent legacy at Lincoln in honor of their Lincoln experience or to recognize a beloved teacher, child, parent or friend.  To establish a new fund, a minimum donation of $25,000 is required.  Examples of endowment include:

  • named scholarship funds
  • faculty development funds
  • athletic funds
  • performing arts funds
  • library funds
  • general operations funds  

 

The Lincoln Scholars Endowment Challenge Completed

Established in 2002, the Lincoln Scholars Program is an endowed need-based scholarship program designed to encourage the most academically gifted girls to attend Lincoln’s Upper School.  It is awarded to an incoming ninth grade student. The program is intended to cover a student’s full tuition, if needed, as well as books and other incidental costs directly related to school.  There are currently four Lincoln Scholars attending Lincoln’s Upper School, and three Lincoln scholars attending college (Yale, Boston University and Boston College.

In June 2010, Lincoln completed a special fundraising challenge from Joan and Paul Sorensen and David and Susan Hibbitt that raised a total of $1.8 million to fully endow the Lincoln Scholars Program.  We are grateful to the generous donors who responded to this historic challenge, raising $900,000 in matching funds to fulfill the Sorensen/Hibbitt Challenge to endow this remarkable scholarship program.
