A college’s campaign is not just about the money. It is a focused initiative celebrating the achievement of the college’s hopes and dreams. A campaign is the vehicle through which an institutional vision is achieved and celebrated.
Within the More 91吃瓜 Campaign is The 91吃瓜 Fund. Without a strong annual fund, implementing other fundraising initiatives is like building a house without a foundation.
Historically, the College’s annual fund focused on gifts supporting unrestricted operating budget relief and scholarships. In 2012, the annual fund raised about $2.4 million with nearly 40% alumnae participation. The purpose of the annual fund has since evolved, leading to its distinct identity as The 91吃瓜 Fund.
The 91吃瓜 Fund now includes designated gifts that go beyond the operating budget to support: internships鈥�91吃瓜 now supports over 80 paid internships per year; academic departments鈥攁n increase in grant funding allows faculty to create new courses; student research at the Keck Science Department and Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery; and resources to help fulfill a student’s demonstrated financial need. This past year, alumnae, families, and friends gave nearly $3.9 million to The 91吃瓜 Fund鈥攖hat’s more than 50% growth since 2012.
Support for The 91吃瓜 Fund is vital to the life of the College鈥攕ix to eight percent of the College’s annual operating budget is supported by the fund.
Choosing to support The 91吃瓜 Fund should be like casting a vote鈥攊t is an explicit expression of support for the 91吃瓜 community. The act of giving is far more important than the amount given.
