I made the first donation $10,000 to MOSI to start the Endowment. I believe that a mature institution like MOSI has much to offer everyone of all ages and talents but this science center needs a significant endowment to provide scholarships in the Tampa Bay Community so that all can enjoy and learn from the hundreds of experiences that they offer. My donations go to a restricted endowment account for summer science camp classes. I can start my own named endowment account for a minimum gift of $25,000 which will remain in perpetuity. There is the Dr. Carl Riggs fund for supporting a scientist in residence program, another for supporting Hispanic children at MOSI, the Dr. Richard Bowers Memorial Fund and others. A separate board meets monthly to maximize the investments and has grown my investments. I think this year the fund was up just over 16%.
