UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME OFFICE OF UNIVERSITY RELATIONS Louis M. Nanni l’i-e P,eside,,r October 2010 Mr. Martin Foos 18 South St. Clair Street Unit 202 Dayton, OH 45402 Dear Martin, With profound appreciation, I share the financial information for the Notre Dame Club of Dayton Scholarship for fiscal year 2009-10. Please share this report—and my heartfelt gratitude—with the members of your club. As my work is based on campus. I am fortunate to have very frequent opportunities to see the fruits of your goodness. No words will ever be able to convey to you how miraculous it is that we can help fund the undergraduate experience of talented and compassionate students who could not afford an education at Notre Dame otherwise. I have no doubt that these bright and energized students will achieve great success and have a large impact on the world, all thanks to your club’s generous gifts. It’s staggering to think that as families continue to struggle. fewer and fewer of these amazing students would be able to realize their dreams of a Notre Dame education without assistance. The trend of increased need continued in the last fiscal year, and the University, due in large part to extraordinary benefactors, was able to continue to enhance its commitment to financial aid, increasing scholarship awards by about 10 percent. You will find enclosed The Notre Dame Endowment brochure and a glossary of key information. These items will assist you in interpreting your financial information. Please contact Gwen Troupe at (574) 631-6461 with any questions. I pray that God will continue to send forth His blessings to the Notre Dame family on campus and around the world. Yours in Our Lady, cc: Gwen Troupe Louis M.

Principal Fund Book Value This figure is the total of all gifts made to your endowed fund, puts any investment income which was added back to the principal. Endowments that are not in a spending mode will have had alL income reinvested in new tinits in the endowment pool and added to the book value. Principal Fund Market Value This is the value of investments in your endowed fund as of June 30, 2010. It is calculated based on the amount of units held in the investment pool. \k’hen the endowment is spent to support the program on a quarterly basis, the units held by the endowment are also reduced. This, in turn, reduces the market value of the endowment. Expendable Fund Value This table shows the amount of money transferred from your endowed fund that was actually available for program spending. Not all endowed funds are in a spending mode; some reinvest earnings and thus have a zero balance in their expendable accounts because earnings are added back to the principal. Newly established endowments may see a smaller expendable amount than would be expected in subsequent years due to the timing of gifts and the length of time allowed for investment. Similarly, a fund transitioning from a reinvestment mode to a spending mode will see a smaller expendable amount in the year of transition than would be expected in subsequent years. Principal Fund Market Value This bar graph shows the market value of your endowed fund at the end of the previous five fiscal years.
