A Family of Funds
The SOT Endowment Fund is in reality a home for multiple Endowment Funds established for different purposes and with contributions from multiple sources. The Fund has an overarching “mission of assisting in advancing the science of toxicology by providing financial support for the Society’s programs.” There are Society Funds and Named Funds. The Society Funds are aligned with the long-term strategic objectives of the Society and provide resources to realize the vision established for the Fund “to establish an increase in net worth a set of Endowment Funds that will provide significant, stable, long-term financial support that complements the Society’s revenues from dues and other sources, to aid in achieving the Society’s strategic objectives.”
