Endowment and Resources



Loyal support for 145 years from dedicated individuals and the prudent and attentive management of funds by Doane’s trustees have resulted in an endowment fund of approximately $86.4 million (as of December 2016). Net tuition paid by the College of Arts and Sciences students provides less than half the necessary funds to operate the university. Income from the endowment provides scholarships to students, support for faculty, and contributes to the necessary operating budget of the university. However, the need is always great for additional gifts to meet current expenses.

George B. Hastings Professor of Fine Arts
Ardis Butler James Endowed Chair for the Liberal and Fine Arts
