The Treasury Office is responsible for the investment and administration of the Consolidated Endowment Fund (CEF).

The CEF consists of over 3,100 separate endowments. The CEF is similar to a mutual fund in that each individual endowment buys units in the fund. The CEF supports University programs as designated by its donors. Programs supported by the endowment distributions include scholarships, fellowships, professorships, chairs, and research activities.

The University of Washington Endowment Report 2009 provides an overview of the CEF. Information on the performance of the CEF can be found in the quarterly investment performance reports.

If you are interested in making an endowed gift, please contact the University of Washington Foundation.
