Fund Details
The Caroline A. Yale Memorial Fund is a restricted endowment whose investment is managed by Clarke. The original intention of the Yale Fund was for alums to be able to make recommendations on how funds were allocated to Clarke. In the recent past, Clarke Schools Alumni Council (CSAC) has chosen to allocate funds to two distinct areas: scholarships and Clarke program support.
