About the Endowment Fund
Makerere' endowment has its origins in the 1930s when the University received donations from individuals with the main objective of establishing an investment portfolio to support the University.
The individuals that started the university endowment included leaders of church missionary societies, former colonial government officials, foreign educationists, and lecturers.
