Support Camp Nugget

What is an Endowment?

An endowment creates a permanently invested fund that provides annual income to Camp Nugget. The funds can be used to support staffing, scholarships, equipment and other Camp Nugget needs. There are many ways you can make a contribution to the endowment either today or as part of your estate plan.

Vision for Camp Nugget Endowment

The Camp Nugget Endowment will assure that children and university students experience the same high-quality services in the future. An endowment is a permanent fund at the University. Earnings from the endowment provide annual support for the program in perpetuity. Camp Nugget needs a minimum endowment of $500,000. While the endowment is building, annual support is critically needed.

Ongoing support is necessary to maintain exemplary services for Camp Nugget’s participants. We also provide need-based scholarships available for families in need to ease their financial burden.
