June 30 is Coming

The College has seen increases in the number of gifts by alumni through the Dartmouth College Fund every year since 2002. In fact, the participation of alumni in gifts through the Fund has increased 10 percentage points in four years. This year, the goal of the Dartmouth College Fund is participation by 54 percent of alumni—the highest since 1988. In order to achieve this result, the College needs 6,521 more alumni to make a gift through the Fund by June 30.

Unlike other gifts such as class projects and gifts to the endowment for restricted purposes, the Dartmouth College Fund supports every vital aspect of the Dartmouth experience. For example, did you know:

• The DCF supports foreign study to every part of the globe allowing 63% of Dartmouth students to study abroad—more than any peer institution?

• The DCF supports varsity athletic programs including baseball, basketball, crew, cross country, football, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, skiing, soccer, softball, squash, swimming, diving, tennis, track and field, field hockey, and volleyball?

• DCF contributions funded a significant part of the College's $64.8 million financial aid budget this past year?

• By supporting faculty salaries and benefits, the DCF helps Dartmouth retain the best and the brightest—over 90 percent hold a Doctorate or equivalent terminal degree?

The College asks that every alumnus and alumna make a gift first through the Dartmouth College Fund and then, if possible, a gift to a restricted priority such as the endowment or class projects. Annually, individual gifts are made to the College through the Fund from $1 to more than $1 million. All donors can find a level of giving that is comfortable to them somewhere in that range!

Make a gift online or send in a check to the Dartmouth College Fund, Box 6066, Hanover, NH 03755. If you wish to make a gift of securities, please let us know by calling (877) 650-6956.
