So, the memorial fund I set up after my sister died is now endowed, (over $10,000), so it will go on in perpetuity..........

The investment guy told me their goal is to be able to distribute 4.5% a year of income to a lucky student, and not touch principal.

I know foundation assets are conservative, but 4.5% in today's environment?

Can't figure if it was CYA, but am looking forward to reading the annual report when it comes out............ :
