* 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 />
