Annual Giving at 91¿첥
Annual gifts of any size offer the opportunity for alumni, friends, staff, faculty, and business partners to give to 91¿첥 on an annual basis. Annual giving supports 91¿첥 students in the current fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) and are renewed annually.
Alumni participation is important and demonstrates the value of investing in future 91¿첥 students as the percentage of alumni who give each year is one of the factors considered by corporations, foundations, and ranking organizations when making their own philanthropic decisions.
Watch your mail, email, or social media for more giving opportunities throughout the year. Read more about each opportunity below and support a fund that you feel most connected to. The more we raise, the more they rise!
91¿첥 Alumni Fund
With over 200,000 alumni worldwide, we are #91¿첥Proud of our entire alumni community. 91¿첥 alumni stories inspire today’s students to pursue their educational goals and gifts to the 91¿첥 Alumni Fund will help lessen the financial burden so that they can achieve them. All alumni are encouraged to make an annual donation to this fund to support student scholarships and programs.
91¿첥 Scholarship Fund
One of 91¿첥’s few sources of unrestricted dollars, the 91¿첥 Scholarship Fund is vital to helping our students progress toward earning their degree. Unrestricted scholarship dollars are not limited in size, scope, or criteria. They can address an urgent student need and allow 91¿첥 to address critical financial requests throughout the year. Unrestricted gifts are applied immediately where most needed.
91¿첥 General Fund
The 91¿첥 General Fund goes beyond scholarships. This fund can be used to support faculty resources, academic programs and innovation, and technological and media resources – all the things that enhance a student’s 91¿첥 experience.
