Lion's Paw Endowment

100th Anniversary Reunion - Make It Memorable, Contribute to the Lion's Paw Endowment

Our endowment continues to provide the funds for our Lion’s Paw Alumni Association budget and stipends to our active class.

The Lion’s Paw Endowment funds are professionally and conservatively managed with the University’s other endowments. Like most investments, our endowment suffered during the recent economic downturn. Our corpus is down approximately 20%, which means that there will be fewer funds available for budgets and stipends going forward.

This is the time of the year when most of us consider our giving plans. We ask that you include Lion’s Paw in your contributions. Help us to restore and raise our endowment. It might also be timely for some to consider a Planned Gift (long term or estate) to our endowment. You can counsel with the Office of Planned Giving concerning details and options. Your contribution or planned gift to Lion’s Paw is a gift to Penn State and enjoys all tax benefits.

Thanks for your ongoing support to the Endowment. Your financial support helps to make both our active and alumni organizations stronger.
