Athletic Endowments at Princeton
Programmatic Endowments
Programmatic endowment serves the department and individual teams well, in that it tends to be broad-based and designated to the highest program priority. Â A gift of $50,000 or more will establish an athletics endowment for programmatic support, which could be used for postseason, invitational, or international team travel, equipment purchases, recruiting expenses, and general team support. The donor may designate a particular sport or team as recipient of the funds.
Coaching Endowments
A gift of $2.5 million will endow a head coaching position that, like an endowed academic chair, both funds and pays tribute to an outstanding teacher-coach. An endowment gift of $1 million will provide similar support for an assistant coaching position.
Princeton's nationally-renowned coaches are dedicated teachers and mentors who support their students' achievements in the classroom as well as on the playing fields. In doing so, they contribute meaningfully to Princeton's holistic educational mission.
