Professorial Chair Fund

1 update

Chairs endowed in donors' names now teach across the Academy
Professorial chairs established by individual donors, alumni classes and partner institutions underwrite teaching in subjects across the Academy — among them management, leadership, mathematics and economics. Each chair carries the name of the donor or the class that endowed it, and its earnings fund a grant to the faculty member appointed to hold it. The principal is never spent, so a chair endowed once goes on supporting the subject it was created for year after year.

Endowment Fund

1 update

Gifts that outlast the giving
The Foundation's endowment donors include alumni classes, senior officers, partner institutions and corporations. Their gifts are held as permanent funds: the principal is preserved and only the earnings are drawn, so an endowment continues to support the Academy's academic programmes long after it was made. An endowment may be established in the donor's own name or in a class's honour.

General Fund

Sending the Academy's teachers back to school
Gifts that are not designated go where the need is greatest, and this year that has meant developing the faculty. Members of the PMA teaching staff are reading for graduate and specialised degrees part-time while continuing to teach, with the Foundation covering their tuition and school fees and a book allowance each term. The Foundation has also supplied books and reference materials to the Academy, and is working with the PMA on a plan for every member of the faculty to hold a doctorate.
