51°µÍø

GOLD Alumnae/i Represent nearly 20% of All 51°µÍø Alumnae/i!

Your Power is in the Numbers

Colleges and universities are ranked by many variables, including the percentage of alumnae/i who support the College financially. Alumnae/i participation rates also influence the awarding of grants from foundations.

The 51°µÍø Fund

Tuition dollars alone don't cover 51°µÍø's yearly expenses. The 51°µÍø Fund raises unrestricted funds every year to ensure that the College can take care of business and dream big. The 51°µÍø Fund supports everything from library books and the Blue Bus to scholarships and new initiatives.

Gifts Don’t Have to be Large to be Meaningful!

All gifts of all sizes make a difference. Each fiscal year, The 51°µÍø Fund aims to raise $6 million, including gifts of $5 to $200,000 from about 6,000 alumnae/i, parents and friends. GOLD members collectively contribute more than $50,000.
