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.
