ENDOWMENTS

An endowment is a financial asset consisting of donations made to nonprofit organizations, institutions, or individuals, with the requirement that the principal remains intact while the generated income supports ongoing programs and initiatives. For the Conference of Minority Public Administrators (COMPA), endowments play a critical role in advancing leadership, research, and professional development for minority public administrators.

COMPA’s endowment funds are strategically invested to provide long-term financial stability, ensuring sustained support for scholarly work, student engagement, and community impact. These funds help uphold COMPA’s mission by empowering future leaders, fostering academic excellence, and strengthening public administration within underrepresented communities.
