2.72.04.020
	An "endowment fund" (sometimes referred to as a "true endowment fund") is a fund created with the gift from a donor(s) with the restriction that the principal is not expendable or that the fund is to be treated as an "endowment fund".
2.72.04.030
	A "term endowment fund" is an "endowment fund" for which the donor of the gift has stipulated that the principal may be expended after a stated period or on the occurrence of a certain event.
2.72.04.040
	A "fund functioning as an endowment" (sometimes referred to as a "quasi-endowment") is a fund established by the institution with expendable monies to function like an endowment fund, but which may be totally expended at any time at the discretion of the institution. There is no requirement by a donor to not expend the principal.
