When you establish an endowment at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, you donate a sum of money to the University. That money is never spent. Instead it is invested. Each year the interest it earns is awarded in your endowment’s name to the University. The earnings from your fund can be applied to any branch of study at Hebrew University’s seven faculties or at any of its more than 50 schools, institutes and research centres. It can be designated for student aid or go toward vital research projects. Or it can simply be applied to the University’s immediate needs. It’s up to you.

The minimum amount to establish an Endowment at the Hebrew University is $1,800. Keep in mind that the larger the principal, the greater the accrued interest. Donors can add to an endowment at any time.

You can also establish an endowment by naming the Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University as a beneficiary of your estate. In this case you can indicate the amount and the area of designation of your choice, and your bequest will link your name in perpetuity to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the State of Israel, and humankind's quest for knowledge. Please see our planned giving page for more information.
