Our Vision

Our vision is to provide students with an opportunity to learn business, financial strategy, portfolio theory, and fundraising through a student-run endowment fund. Our vision with the fund is to give back through charities that directly benefit the Glenbard West student community. Through the Endowment, students will learn how to manage a portfolio, what investing is, and how it can have a positive impact, how to fundraise, and how to adapt in a modern market. This is achieved through student control over the endowment and its assets, control over the entire fundraising process, guest speakers, and group presentations.  

Our Goals

Be Profitable to Donate to Charity 

The goal of the Glenbard West Endowment is to donate a set percentage to a foundation and/or charity of our choosing, which directly benefits Glenbard West Students in need.

Grow the Endowment

The purpose of the endowment is to provide a hands-on opportunity to both further financial education and give back to the community.  The Endowment Club is managed by students.
