Establishing an endowment at Barton College is a wonderful way to make a gift that will live in perpetuity at the College.  Once an endowment is established, the principle is never deducted.  Only a percentage of the interest earned yearly is used while the remaining interest goes back to the principle, enabling the money to continue growing.  Barton College provides a wide variety of endowment opportunities.
