Iowa State University announces that a gift reported in January will result in a new endowment of approximately $145 million to support the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The endowment is made possible through a gift from an anonymous donor couple of an equity stake in Curriculum Associates, LLC, which recently entered into a capital partnership.
The permanent endowment will generate between $5-6 million in revenue each year on a perpetual basis for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the very heart of learning and discovery at Iowa State. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides core courses for students in every major and, as a result, the gift will impact nearly every student at the university.
