HRI's Named Endowment Fund Contributors
Endowed Support
Many HRI donors wish to honor friends, loved ones, and industry associations by establishing a named endowment fund. Investment returns on endowed funds are awarded annually in the name of the individual(s) honored in the form of research grants.
In order to maintain sufficient endowment levels, a minimum of $20,000 is required to establish a named fund. An endowment can be established and paid over a five-year period. Funds can be created by businesses, associations, families and individuals.
There are two sections to the fund listing.
