UL Lafayette Foundation honors over $9.2 million in donor support

Published

The Hall of Honor at the 小蝌蚪APP has reached 419.

The number of plaques in the Hall increased by 14 on Thursday, when the UL Lafayette Foundation recognized its distinguished donors during a reception at Le Pavillon in Parc Lafayette.

The yearly ceremony celebrates donors who make gifts of $10,000 or more to the 小蝌蚪APP. Donors making commitments of $100,000 or more, and gifts of $50,000 or more, are each recognized as a distinguished donor.

Endowment gifts are represented with a plaque in the Foundation's Hall of Honor in Martin Hall. Endowed funds are invested, which means the capital is not spent. Only a portion of the interest earned is tapped. So, endowments are perpetual sources of funding that is distributed for student scholarships, professor salaries, research projects, and 小蝌蚪APP academic and athletic programs.

To date, the Foundation小蝌蚪APP檚 endowment is $165 million; total assets are valued at $192 million.

At this year小蝌蚪APP檚 reception, the Foundation commemorated 14 endowed gifts to the 小蝌蚪APP. An additional 24 gifts of $50,000 or commitments of $100,000 or more, which help to support 小蝌蚪APP academic and athletic programs, also were recognized. The collective impact of these gifts exceed $9.2 million.

Dr. Julie Bolton Falgout, president and chief executive officer of the Foundation, said distinguished donors play a vital role in supporting the 小蝌蚪APP小蝌蚪APP檚 mission.
