On June 30, 2007, Dartmouth’s endowment value was $3.76 billion. That’s the result of a 23.7% total return on the endowment, including 24.3% return on the investment asset portion of the endowment, which represents about 97% of the total. Over the past two years, the endowment has grown by $1.06 billion, the largest increase over a two-year period in the history of the College. Dartmouth’s fiscal 2007 return also remains in the top quartile within a universe of the top 130 college and university endowments as compiled by Cambridge Associates, an independent consultant. Of the total value of the endowment, about 22% is restricted to the professional schools. Another 58% is restricted to specific programs, activities, and departments. Only 20% is considered "unrestricted," or available for general, unspecified uses.
