| About The Douglass Fund
Distributions of income earned in the prior year by
endowed funds of The Douglass Fund are administered by a Trustees
Committee composed of the Dean of Douglass College, the president
of the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College, two alumnae, and another
person appointed by the Dean. The Douglass Fund receives both unrestricted
and restricted funds.
Many of these gifts come from savings or brokerage accounts,
Charitable Gift Annuities, or through bequests, insurance, or some
other form of deferred giving, and represent a significant commitment,
often payable over five years, or after one's death. They can be
non-cash assets such as real estate, business holdings, or other
estate assets such as IRAs. Many alumnae choose to restrict their
gift to endow a scholarship or to support or endow a particular
program or initiative at the college.
An important reminder . . .
If you are including Douglass in your will or other
financial/estate plan, please remember to review the wording of
your designation to ensure that your gift is specifically for "The
Douglass Fund," as you intend. The correct wording for gifts
and bequests to The Douglass Fund is: The Associate
Alumnae of Douglass College for the Douglass Fund. If you
use other wording, your gift may not reach The Douglass Fund.
