This year, the callers spoke with some 10,000 alumni, with more than one out of four making a pledge. The callers are both appreciative and thrilled about the chance to reach so many college supporters. Annual Giving on the Rise An increasing number of contributors are giving to NHC every year, as the chart below demonstrates. The biggest piece of the pie is, of course, alumni, who are indeed the backbone of the college's continued success. Growth in the total number of donors has risen by almost one third over the past three years as more and more alumni, corporations and foundations, faculty and staff, and other college friends have discovered the value of an NHC education.
Every gift counts.
Students and faculty appreciate all alumni and community and campus friends who have added NHC to their list of charitable gift recipients. The answer-a gift that keeps on giving. New Hampshire College has a number of funds that allow donors to make such a gift. These funds, established by family or friends, honor individuals or groups for whom NHC has or had special meaning. All of the funds are tributes that will live forever, and thus, ensure the honoree of permanent recognition at one of New England's finest and most progressive small colleges.
