Depok, 30 January 2024. UI Endowment Fund was launched in 2015 to collect several funds that will be managed to support the Tri Darma of Higher Education without reducing the principal value of the funds. The Endowment Fund is important because UI can seek legal funding based on the Regulation of the Board of Trustees of the University of Indonesia Number 004/Peraturan/MWA-UI/2015 concerning the Bylaws of the University of Indonesia.
The UI Endowment Fund is open to donors from the academic community, alumni, stakeholders, and the community who are aware of UI’s important role in education and national development. Not long ago, donors, on behalf of the UI Daya Bhakti Education Foundation (DBEF), handed UI a grant worth 2 billion rupiahs in Kebayoran, South Jakarta.
