📌 Overview
The UKZN Endowment Fund is a long-term investment in the future of education. It provides sustainable funding for scholarships, research, and strategic University priorities. By growing our endowment, we ensure that generations of students benefit from consistent support—regardless of economic fluctuations or funding uncertainty.
🎯 Project Goal
The goal is to build a robust and diversified endowment that secures the long-term financial stability of the University and increases our capacity to respond to student needs, fund world-class research, and retain top academic talent. Endowments offer perpetual impact by preserving the principal and distributing a portion of the annual earnings to specific causes aligned with donor intent.
💡 Why Your Support Matters
An endowment gift keeps giving. It’s an act of belief—in the University, in our students, and in the value of education as a force for good. Your contribution becomes part of a legacy that outlives us all, enabling future generations of students to access the life-changing opportunities that UKZN provides.
🎁 How You Can Help
You can contribute to the Endowment Fund in several ways:
- Establish a named endowment in honour or memory of a loved one
- Make a once-off or recurring contribution to the general endowment
- Pledge a legacy gift through your will or estate plan
- Endow a bursary, research chair, or specific programme that reflects your values
All endowment gifts are professionally managed, and donors receive regular impact reports and recognition opportunities.
