Endowment Fund

Building Futures

Endowment Fund

Established in 1990, the Endowment Fund is an investment in the future of the construction industry, providing a stable and lasting source of support for the Foundation’s mission to develop and promote construction careers.

The Foundation has 45 named endowments, each with a principal gift of $25,000 or more. The principal of the fund is carefully invested in a restricted account, while a portion of the interest generated supports the Foundation’s general programs and scholarships on an annual basis.

Endowment gifts strengthen the Foundation in perpetuity, creating a reliable stream of funding that helps prepare the next generation of construction professionals while serving as a lasting testament to donors’ commitment to the industry’s future.

What People Are Saying

Elaine ErvinPartner and firm construction leader
Moss Adams LLP
AGC EF Board President
“Moss Adams LLP has a commitment to give back to the community, which includes a pledge to education and providing resources to the industries and companies we serve. Increasing our endowment with the AGC Education Foundation accomplishes all of these aspects of our commitment. We value our relationship with the Foundation and look forward to its continued success.”
Gene ColinChairman and CEO
Ferguson Construction
“A community college opens doors to the kids who never thought they could get a college education. Our two-year institutions just haven’t received the attention of the industry that four-year schools have, yet an AA degree or certification program can be an excellent entree into construction. I hope that by starting this endowment we encourage others to explore this path.”
