BOLD Giving
BOLD and the Gettysburg Fund
|
|
The Gettysburg Fund, Gettysburg College's annual fund, is the #1 priority of the institution and is viewed as a measure of strength and support. A strong program reflects positively upon the school and its alumni - therefore, it is our hope that BOLD alumni consider making a gift to the Gettysburg Fund every year. The Gettysburg Fund helps to support the most pressing annual needs of the College. Gifts at all levels are greatly appreciated and help to ensure that today's Gettysburg students are afforded every opportunity to have an enriching Gettysburg experience. The Cupola Society Associates are young alumni who make leadership gifts - more information below. The goal for BOLD giving in 2009-10 is 25 percent participation, which would be a 13 percent increase from last year. Look below for the methods of donating. Thank you in advance for your support! |
Cupola Society Associates for Young Alumni!
We invite young alumni in the early stages of their careers to join the Cupola Society Associates. Graduates from the past 10 years who make an annual gift of at least $100 for every year since they graduated automatically become Associates, and enjoy all the benefits of full Cupola Society membership.
