The GSA Foundation manages more than 100 funds that support GSA Programs, Divisions, Sections, and Specialized Research Grants and Awards. Income generated by these permanently and professionally managed restricted endowments support donor-designated, specific purposes in perpetuity. GSA members, families, and organizations establish funds to honor careers and support programs important to them. Donors and organizations work with the Foundation to document the purpose of each fund and create a funding plan. The minimum funding commitment to establish a named fund is $50,000.
Please contact Debbie Marcinkowski to discuss your ideas about establishing a permanent fund.
