Endowment, for instance (4)
I believe the answer is:
gift
'endowment for instance' is the definition.
(I know that endowment is a type of gift)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for gift that I've seen before include "Present or special talent" , "A present or gratuity" , "Give away" , "A present or a natural ability" , "Donation" .)
