Making a Gift to the Northwestern Annual Fund Frequently asked questions about making a gift to the Annual Fund. Every solicitation mailing, phonathon confirmation, or phonathon pledge reminder you get from the Northwestern Annual Fund contains a standard reply card. On this card you can indicate what you would like your gift to support, whether it is one or many areas. If you do decide to divide your gift, please be sure to indicate how much of it should go to each area of interest.
Alumni generally use cash, credit cards or securities to make their annual gifts.
You may also use our on-line pledge form . If you need information on transferring securities, or if you would like to use some other vehicle to make your gift, please call the Office of Annual Giving. While annual gifts are crucial to Northwestern, they are not the only way to support the University.
