Named Endowments
For many decades, Blake alumni, parents, guardians and friends have shown their generosity, commitment and loyalty by establishing named endowments. An endowment is held in perpetuity and invested with the return on the investment providing a constant source of income for the activities designated by the donor. Endowments benefit the entire Blake community today and in the future. We are grateful to those who have established and contributed to the more than 100 named endowments. This list recognizes named endowments supporting financial assistance, programs and initiatives at The Blake School.
To learn about establishing or contributing to a named endowment, please call Rebecca Schubring at 952-988-3432.
