3. Basic Mechanics of Endowment Payout Process

4. Confidential Stanford University Confidential Stanford University  Endowed funds in the Merged Pool (Stanford’s primary investment pool) receive a “spendable” dollar amount monthly to support university expenditures per donor wishes and restrictions. This is known as “payout.”  Payout per share is approved by the Board of Trustees every February for the following fiscal year.  The University balances the need for stable and predictable current spending with the need to preserve endowment principal to support spending into perpetuity to create intergenerational equity.  An endowment “income fund” holds the payout produced by the fund’s investment in the Merged Pool.  Income funds are accounted for in the SU or operations ledger  The principal investment is accounted for in the EN or endowment ledger What is Endowment Payout? 4 Financial Management Services
