For example, if in year one you raised and matched $50,000 of Federal funds, and you invested $100,000 to form the endowment corpus, then in year two you elected to raise and match $25,000 of Federal funds for a total of $50,000 and decided to add this $50,000 to the original $100,000, your corpus then changes from $100,000 to $150,000.
