RESTRICTED Restricted funds are gifts and grants deposited with SBF for a specific designated department or academic/research program. For example: Computer Associates donates funds to support Computer Science Department. The funds deposited are available to spend. An administrative fee of 10% is assessed on the total revenue deposited each month with the exception of scholarship, fellowship and prize accounts where there is no administrative fee.

ENDOWMENT Endowment funds are gifts deposited with SBF based on an endowment fund agreement between the donor and the Foundation. In general, the minimum contribution of $25, 000 is required to establish new endowments. However, there are certain categories that require higher minimum gift levels. (Endowed Chair the minimum is $1, 500, 000). Refer to the Stony Brook Giving webpage for a complete list of endowment minimum gift levels. Typically, the funds deposited are permanently restricted and only the income earned can be expended, however under the new NYPMIFA legislation, principle may be invaded when an Endowment is underwater.
ENDOWMENT An annual management fee of 1% is assessed on endowment funds based on the past five year’s average market value. Since 2013, a 4. 5% spending rate based on the past five years average market value has been returned to the account holder to support the original intent of the endowment. The average inflation rate over the past 20 years has been approximately 2. 6%. All investment earnings exceeding the 4. 5% spending plan and 1% management fee are distributed to the endowment accounts to grow the fund balance (not the “original dollar value”) and mitigate inflation. The spending rate and management fee will be reviewed and approved by the Investment Committee on an annual basis.
ENDOWMENT SPENDING POLICY - NYPMIFA According to New York Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, ”NYPMIFA” enacted on September 17, 2010, total gifts and additions to an endowment shall constitute “original dollar value” of the fund. Stony Brook Foundation can appropriate for expenditure the principle of an endowment whose market value has dropped below the original dollar value, as long as it is deemed prudent, guided by eight prudent factors for investing. NYPMIFA deems that yearly spending of more than 7% of the endowment’s market value creates a presumption of imprudence. The endowment spending is calculated based on the prior five years FMV average at June 30 th multiplied by the approved spending rate (currently 4. 5%), with the restriction that the five year moving average not exceed 7%.
ANNUITY An annuity is funds received by the Foundation under a written deferred giving agreement between the donor and the foundation. A minimum contribution of $10, 000 is required. Annuities provide quarterly income at a fixed interest rate (based on actuarial tables) for the life of the beneficiary or beneficiaries. An administrative fee will be applicable upon termination of the agreement and the account balance is transferred to a current use or endowment account as per the agreement.
