ENDOWMENT GIFTS - Leaving a Legacy

Endowment gifts allows TAA to offer a better education to more students. Endowed gifts are invested by TAA and the income from the gift is directed toward a purpose chosen by the donor. Only the income from the principal is used, so the gift continues on and provides help in the future. Endowment opportunities can include student scholarship, staff and teacher professional development, and other selected special projects.
