An anonymous donor directed that income from this endowment fund to go to Beckley College for development, or capital improvement projects, as determined by the college administration. Beckley College was later renamed to Mountain State University. In 2013 MSU lost credentialing and closed. The University of Charleston took over Mountain State’s Beckley campus and enrolled students from the troubled institution. Income from this fund now supports UC-Beckley development or capital improvement projects. Created in 1988 this fund continues to honor Shuyler and Ida Ballengee.
