Beta Theta Pi General Fraternity House Corporation

“The endowment includes both donor-restricted endowment fund and funds designated by the governing body to function as endowments (board-designated endowment funds). The foundation has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs and other items supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment. Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted endowment funds the foundation must hold in perpetuity or for donor-specified periods, as well as those of board-designated endowment funds. Under the foundation's policies, endowment assets are invested in a manner that is intended to produce results that exceed the need for income to fund grants that support scholarships and leadership programming while assuming levels of investment risk based on each endowment's risk tolerance and time horizon.”
