EUSP is a pioneer and leading expert in the field of endowment building and its development in Russia. The university’s Endowment Fund was registered in May 2007 — the first in St. Petersburg and the second in Russia. The Fund currently consists of five endowment funds to support the university’s core activities that are managed and invested in a diversified manner. In terms of volume, the EUSP Fund is one of the largest university endowments and holds the leading position in the country in terms of endowment per student (on a par with the world’s leading universities). At the beginning of the 2022 year, the Fund has accumulated more than 3 billion rubles. Income from the endowment provides up to a quarter of the university’s budget. The EUSP Fund is characterized by the transparent and collegial administrative and decisionmaking structure.
The founder of the Fund is EUSP. Principal decisions (changing the Charter, appointing the Management Board) are made by the university’s Academic Council. The Fund’s Board of Trustees performs supervisory and strategic functions.
