<strong>Briar</strong>’s future — in perpetuity.<br />

Our Path to Sustainability<br />

<strong>Sweet</strong> <strong>Briar</strong> Fund Endowment Auxiliaries<br />

* Figures in parentheses are projected student enrollment<br />

* Endowment draw-down rate is 5% each year<br />

Five-year growth in revenue from tuition, fees, grants and auxiliary<br />

enterprises will lead to decreasing reliance on the <strong>Sweet</strong> <strong>Briar</strong> Fund<br />

for operating expenses. Increasing budgetary health will allow us to<br />

grow our endowment and meet future capital needs.<br />

Together, we can do this.<br />

Our immediate need by June 30, <strong>2016</strong>, is $30 million in<br />

additional unrestricted funds. Your gift now is more than a contribution;<br />

it is an investment in an extraordinary educational institution, the return<br />

on which will be reaped for generations to come. Thanks to your<br />

generosity, <strong>Sweet</strong> <strong>Briar</strong>’s future has already begun.<br />
