Question for the Dean: Why set up an endowment fund at EDHEC?

“The EDHEC Rising Talents campaign ended in 2015 and enabled us to collect €20 million thanks to the support of 1,840 donors – alumni, parents, friends and staff members – and 69 partner companies. My thanks to all those involved for such a wonderful success!
We are now following a new dynamic path with the creation of the EDHEC Endowment Fund.

EDHEC has the good fortune to benefit from many alumni who are highly involved in the life of the school – including through donations. An endowment fund is a way for the school to bring them together and allow them to participate in the development of a fundraising strategy that meets their expectations. It is an institutional tool that provides detailed information about donations, which can be easily and quickly allocated to the priority projects which our donors wish to support, and it is also a flexible tool which, for example, can be used to put in place an endowment or to quickly change the way an endowment operates in order to better satisfy the expectations of alumni donors and ensure proper compliance with EDHEC’s strategy: essentially, thanks to the Endowment Fund, donations “have an impact”!

I am confident that this year, once again, our graduates will continue to support us to enable EDHEC to fulfil our ambition and become a leading European school, and to contribute to the development and success of the new generation of EDHEC students.

My thanks to all graduates for their involvement and support!”
