Contributions can be designated for specific programs. Named endowments are another giving option and may be created for a gift of $25,000 or more. Endowments are a way to create an enduring fund in the donor's name or it can serve as a tribute or memorial. An example of a named endowment is the Ernest and Sarah Butler Endowment for the Recognition of Excellence in Science Teaching , which fund the science teacher award program.
