Alumni are not counted in class participation if their only gift is a restricted gift. All alumni receive a gift envelope with each letter from their Class Agent. This envelope is pre-stamped and addressed directly to the Office of Annual Giving. Once a gift is received, the College sends the donor a receipt. Pledges are acceptable too, but the pledge must be paid by February 15, just the same as outright gifts, to count for the Alumni Fund that year.
Alumni can make online pledges by going here .
Encourage alumni making such gifts to do so early to allow time to convert currencies to U.S. dollars. Thousands of organizations match gifts of employees, directors and retirees. Williams will do all of the additional paperwork required. The process is simple, and the money it generates for the Alumni Fund is very important. In the case of a memorial gift, a certificate is mailed to the closest family member.
