You're talking about millions of dollars. Every gift makes a difference.
Every gift is important because each one builds participation.
That's not small change. Remember that gifts are tax deductible. Williams needs your support and participation, regardless of how much you can give. Alumni Fund participation is an important measure of how William's alumni value their education. High participation signals a sound institution, worthy of additional support.
