Your Annual Fund gift directly supports the College’s mission to “educate men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely.”
Each year over 4,500 alumni, parents, and friends, make unrestricted gifts to the Wabash Annual Fund. This collective support demonstrates how there is “strength in numbers” when alumni and friends come together and support the Wabash student experience with gifts to the College.
As we near the June 30, 2008 fiscal year-end, the College needs you to participate to reach two important goals — $2.85 million and 40% alumni participation.
Here are a few things to consider when making a gift to Wabash by June 30, 2008:
1. All Annual Fund gifts support Wabash students and provide unparalleled liberal arts experiences and opportunities.
2. If you are a Wabash graduate, your gift will count toward reaching the 40% alumni participation goal. Visit the online Honor Roll of Donors to see if you are counted among those who have made a gift so far this year.
3. All gifts made between now and June 30, 2008 count toward the Hays Challenge and will help reach the $2.85 million goal.
4. All gifts are tax deductible.
5. If you are eligible for an IRS economic stimulus rebate, giving just 10% of that rebate ($60 for individual filers or $120 for joint filers) will be a generous gift from money that you didn’t even know you were going to have this year.
You can designate your Annual Fund gift to one of the following areas:
- Scholarships
- Student Life
- Teaching and Learning
- Parents' Fund
- Unrestricted
Matching Gifts Your gift to the Annual Fund might also be eligible for a matching gift from your employer. Matching gifts often allow you to double or triple the value of your gift to Wabash.
