The enduring value of a Bates education depends on the strength of the College today and tomorrow. Gifts to the Bates Alumni Fund are a key element in providing Bates with the necessary resources to ensure that strength, and to help the College strive for constant growth and improvement for the benefit of the newest generations of Batesies. Gifts to the Bates Alumni Fund provide annual spendable resources that help to underwrite the cost of the College's immediate expenses. Alumni support represents your satisfaction with the College and its mission. All gifts, large and small, are important to Bates.
Every gift counts, and helps to increase the rate of alumni participation.
In the past few years, Bates has proudly maintained one of the highest alumni participation rates of liberal arts colleges and universities nationwide. The Fund year ends June 30, 2001. All Rights Reserved.
