The College of Engineering Stewardship Program

The mission of the College of Engineering Stewardship Program is to create within the College an environment of philanthropic stewardship through education, counsel and the development of an effective endowment and gift management system.

Why a Stewardship Program

The Grand Destiny Campaign was a transformational success. The College of Engineering established 187 new endowments – an increase of 111% – with most new endowments supporting undergraduate and graduate students. In FY 02/03, the last year of the campaign, the College’s faculty and staff managed over $4M in endowment income, handled 12,351 individual receipts providing $14.8M in gifts and mailed over 10,000 thank you letters. The Stewardship Program was established by the College of Engineering to manage the success of the Grand Destiny Campaign, to accommodate the College’s future philanthropic success, and to serve the range of stewardship activities within Engineering. The program provides Engineering departments the education, tools and other resources necessary to efficiently and effectively care for and protect our philanthropic legacy.
