Endowment
Endowment funds are our safeguard for the school's long-term well-being. An endowment is a fund in which the principal is protected in perpetuity while a percentage of the interest income is applied to certain areas of need. Heschel's endowment reduces economic vulnerability and increases stabilization by diversifying our income.
