Designated Fund Descriptions
The Rivers School Conservatory has two types of designated funds: restricted and endowed funds. Both types of funds support the foundational programs that define the RSC experience.
Restricted Funds
Restricted funds are current-use funds that support specific programs during the year. Donations made to these funds directly support that program and are spent during the fiscal year. Examples of RSC Restricted Funds are:
Endowed Funds
An endowed fund is an investment account established to permanently support a designated program. Each year, investment income from the fund supports the designated program. This differs from restricted funds because a gift to an endowed fund is invested rather than spent during the fiscal year.
Endowed funds at RSC provide support for essential programs that contribute to a vibrant experience. Growing RSC endowment funds means providing more financial aid to deserving students, enriching the student experience through competitions, and offering scholarships for high-achieving musicians. Examples of RSC Endowed Funds are:
