12 The Magic of Education Mission-Driven An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. Benjamin Franklin What we do isn t magic, what you do is: The impact donors make made us think about the magic a donor creates when they, through gifting, create an education leap forward for a student. Your support of Sacramento State provides life-changing opportunities for the students, preparing them to be leaders in their professions and communities. Scholarships are among the most rewarding ways to give to Sacramento State because of the nearly immediate impact they can make on students lives. Establishing, contributing to or endowing a scholarship helps ensure that Sacramento State remains affordable and accessible. It also provides opportunities to recognize and motivate the best and brightest students.

18 Lower Costs Improve Mission Sustainability.

19 Mission Sustainability Trustee Prudence A complete market cycle is typically defined as a 5-year period. Recent measurement periods (5-year rolling periods) have averaged between 3%-4% annualized portfolio returns. These portfolio returns incorporate the Great Recession and the 2008 Market Liquidity Crisis. The projected return environment is more normalized than the recent experience would suggest. The Foundation s draw rate has been very prudent, which has protected the corpus of the endowment portfolio during this lower return period. Your contributions have the potential to lessen the reliance on the capital markets.
