Ways to Give

Restricted and Endowed Funds

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. If you have any questions or are interested in establishing a restricted or endowed fund, please contact Chief Advancement Officer Meret Nahas at m.nahas@rivers.org or 339-686-2263.

​

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:
