Annual Fund gifts support the operating costs of the college. The Annual Fund provides the margin of difference of affordability for many Wofford students. Because of the significance of the Annual Fund on Wofford s daily operation, every contributor, large and small, is encouraged to make an Annual Fund gift first and then consider a gift to any special interest restricted fund. The Unrestricted Annual Fund contributes to all operational costs from electricity to light the dormitories to faculty salaries to laboratory equipment. Unrestricted dollars are in high demand because they are flexible enough to be used where they are most needed.
Unrestricted donations are essential and one of the college s greatest needs.
Every person in the Wofford community reaps benefits from a gift to the unrestricted annual fund. The Sandor Teszler Library is one of Wofford College's strongest assets. With the advent of computers and the Internet and Wofford's connected campus, a greater emphasis has been placed on providing electronic resources and databases as well as books. In order to adapt to the rapidly changing nature of libraries today, the college has relied on the Friends of the Library fund to help keep our library's collections and services strong. In recent years this fund has purchased books in many fields, has provided database access to support educational programs, and has provided the match to let us attain a grant for computers for teaching.
