Its money donated to the university. You can donate to a general fund, or donate to a specific department in the university.

LSU's endowment is handled through the LSU Foundation. LINK

Money donated to the university that’s invested. Normally used towards scholarships, attracting quality professors and researchers.

They typically include funds given to an institution by donors, etc. The initial gift/deposit is never touched but maintained and managed in perpetuity to generate earnings and appreciation in value.

That appreciation is what’s used to fund scholarships, professorship, etc.

LSU’s is managed by the LSU Foundation.
