The Reunion Gift
Reunions are a time to recognize not just new commitments made during the reunion gift campaign, but nearly all contributions over a five-year period. The combined reunion gift total includes all new gifts and pledges made to most areas of the university since the last reunion. To mark a reunion year, many alumni make a stretch commitment above and beyond their ongoing annual support. The reunion gift includes gifts to the Alumni Fund and most capital, restricted contributions. Unlike most unrestricted annual gifts, capital gifts of a certain size can be directed to endow programs, support athletic teams, or fund building projects on campus.
During the For Humanity campaign, which extends from July 2021 to June 2026, all reunion giving also counts toward the campaign total.
