Make a Gift to the Bowman Endowment for Archives
The endowment’s first contributor was Joseph S. Stauffer, an engineer, businessman and philanthropist with roots in the village of Blair, near Cambridge.
Stauffer began contributing to Conrad Grebel University College when the college was “still a dream” in the early 1960s. It was his wish that some of his contributions form an endowment to acquire and protect archival materials. He proposed the name “Bowman” in 1974 to honor the Mennonite family name of his grandmother Nancy (Bowman) Stauffer.
The endowment stands at $182,000, with a goal of $500,000. For more information and to contribute, please visit the College's endowments page.
