Without the Endowment Fund Shift the actual increase in General Funds from FY 2005 to FY 2006 Total is (1.9%). The General Fund increase for the Endowment Fund fix is accomplished by increasing the endowment distribution for those agencies with sufficient fund balances, and redistributing the General Funds from those agencies to the other agencies with an endowment distribution shortfall.
