The UWI Regional Endowment Fund has been established to provide an independent source of funding for University programmes and to reduce dependence on government grants, student tuition and direct alumni donations. Over the long term, this fund will increase the strength, stability and independence of the University.
The UWIREF is not intended to replace existing campus endowment funds. Rather, it will widen the donor scope, by collaboratively soliciting donations and gifts regionally and internationally. The UWIREF will broaden opportunities for Units throughout the University to receive gifts based on merit and need as determined by the UWIREF's Board, rather than awards being primarily dependent on the wealth and economic circumstances of a contributing country.
Donors to UWIREF can designate a specific campus, Unit or project as a recipient. On an annual basis, the UWIREF will decide what portion of the proceeds from the Fund to allocate for disbursement for award of scholarships, projects or other initiatives and the remaining portion will be re-invested to enable the growth of the Fund.
Cheques are to be made out to the UWI Regional Endowment Fund Ltd.
