Our 5 Year Plan for the Endowment

The budget for the program, for the last few years, has been $150,000 per year with $50,000 additionally dedicated to capital expenditure annually. In order to reach and maintain a position as the top club university rowing program in the country, we must move away from one-off fundraisers and self-sustain our capital acquisition via our endowments.  Bringing the GTCA endowment to $300,000, will bring our total endowment value to $600,000 and yield us $20,000 per anum to dedicate towards our fleet. You can find our fleet management strategy in our five-year plan. 

We are seeking consistent, monthly/annual donations from alumni spanning GT Crew's 40-year history to build our endowment. 

• If you graduated between 2015-2025, we ask you to consider donating $10/month - just $120 per year.

• If you graduated between 2005-2015, we ask you to consider donating $50/month - or $600 per year.

• If you graduated before 2005, we ask you to consider donating $100/month - or $1,200 per year.

In order to achieve our goal, we need $55,000 in annual donations to the endowment from now until 2030 - nearly the same amount we fundraised for during the Regener8+ The Fleet Campaign. 

Thank you to our endowment Donors
