Establishing an endowed fund through lifetime giving or an estate plan shows a profound degree of commitment to the mission of University School of Nashville.What's Next?Planning Ahead

USN Endowment Spending Policy
It is the school's goal and policy to distribute for use in the school's operations, on an annual basis, 4 percent of the most recent September 30 balance of the endowment as of the time of the annual budget approval, except as otherwise stipulated by donors for specific restricted funds.
This amount should not exceed 5 percent nor be less than 2 percent of the trailing three-year average of the September 30 market value for the three fiscal years immediately preceding the respective budget approval.
