If you donate at least $25,000, you will be able to start an endowed fund that generates around $1,000/year for a purpose in supporting international education. It could be a scholarship, a dedicated fund for a specific need, etc. This donation could be a group effort, and all the initial donors would be listed on the fund agreement.
