In order to participate in the NES, your institution must be a regular NACUBO member with an endowment greater than $1 million. If your college or university participated in the 2007 NACUBO Endowment Study, you will automatically receive information about the 2008 study in early August.  Learn more about participating in future NES surveys.

In order to protect the confidentiality of sensitive data, we use code numbers to identify institutions. Each institution is randomly assigned an identification code.  These codes are available only to 2007 NES participating institutions.  As we do every year, we ask that the identification code key be handled with the utmost confidentiality and not be shared outside your institution. Please refer to the Access and Use Policy for more information. For more information about the NES code lists, please contact Jessica Shedd at 202.861.2527.

Thanks to NEST, NES participants can compare their endowment size, asset allocation, rate of return, and endowment payout rate with other participant's individual and aggregate data. For a demonstration of NEST, take a look at our video. NACUBO, in conjunction with TIAA-CREF and enumerate, offers this interactive data analysis tool exclusively to NES participants.
