Distribution report

For Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Foundation, a closing survey balance and an annual appropriation answer different questions. The survey records how much was held at the reporting date. A spending formula determines support using the valuations specified in that policy. A beneficiary can also spend an approved distribution in a later period. This timing can separate the institution's appropriation from the cash recorded as an expense. Spending measures

Governance and investment office

The board establishes the spending policy and the investment committee periodically reviews the distribution rate. The investment policy authorizes U.S. and international equities, fixed income, absolute-return strategies and real assets. The report states that spending from underwater endowments is prohibited and that no such deficiencies existed at June 30, 2025. Investment governance

Federal excise tax on investment income

Public Law 119-21 changed Section 4968 for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. Applicable private institutions must have at least 3,000 tuition-paying students in the preceding tax year, with more than half located in the United States, and student-adjusted endowment of at least $500,000. The rates are 1.4% from $500,000 through $750,000 per student, 4% above $750,000 through $2 million, and 8% above $2 million. Enacted law, Section 70415

Section 4968 excludes state colleges and universities described in Section 511(a)(2)(B). Supporting foundations retain their own legal and filing identities, with related-organization rules read alongside the public-university exclusion. A foundation's public endowment value does not, by itself, assign it a private-college tax tier.

These rates apply to net investment income. Statutory student counts and related-organization rules govern the calculation.
