Endowed funds are critical to ensuring the future of an institution. As St. Margaret’s continues to mature, investing in the endowment becomes a higher priority. Currently, St. Margaret’s endowment largely supports operations, financial aid and STEM education. Part of the proceeds from the Tartan Tee Off help fund financial aid endowment and planned gifts are usually allocated to the general endowment.
