THE MAJORITY OF GLAZA'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE UNRESTRICTED BEQUESTS WHICH THE BOARD HAS DESIGNATED TO BE TREATED AS ENDOWMENT. THESE UNRESTRICTED FUNDS (PRINCIPAL AND DISTRIBUTIONS) HAVE BEEN USED AT TIMES TO GUARANTEE GLAZA'S COMMITMENTS TO FUND CERTAIN MASTER PLAN PROJECTS WHILE GLAZA WAS STILL RAISING THE FUNDS FROM DONORS. THESE UNRESTRICTED FUNDS ARE USED NOW TO COLLATERALIZE A LINE OF CREDIT THAT PROVIDES A GUARANTEE FOR GLAZA'S COMMITMENT TO THE ELEPHANTS OF ASIA PROJECT. GLAZA'S PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS HAVE BEEN LARGELY GIVEN BY DONORS FOR A SPECIFIC AREA OF SUPPORT: EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, THE DOCENT PROGRAM, AND ZOO EXHIBIT IMPROVEMENTS. WITH ALL ENDOWMENT FUNDS, GLAZA HAS ADOPTED A DISTRIBUTION POLICY THAT WHILE ALLOWING FOR CURRENT DISTRIBUTIONS, PLACES AN EMPHASIS ON LONG-TERM GROWTH OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS SO THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE INCREASING SUPPORT IN THE FUTURE.
