The endowment is a foundational source of sustaining support for Mount Holyoke College. Through distributions that fund the College’s annual operating budget, the endowment allows the College to provide an intellectually rigorous education for students of all backgrounds and strengthens the College’s legacy of leadership in education. Additionally, the endowment helps the College invest in key areas such as scholarship aid for students, internship experiences and faculty support.
The endowment stood at $1.0362 billion as of June 30, 2023. The invested pool generated a return of 7.2%, net of fees, over the fiscal year 2023. Following a tumultuous year for markets in fiscal year 2022, the endowment returned to growth while distributing over $40 million to support college operations.
