Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

“The Center's long-term goal is to use the earnings of the endowment fund to support its infrastructure and operating costs.

The Center has also approved the use of principal in the event that grants and contributions are not sufficient to support the total cost of the Center's activities.”
