Annual Giving Support
Giving from an individual that is less than $5,000 in a fiscal year, and is expected to be annually recurring, is considered "annual giving." Annual giving is the foundation for all fundraising efforts, providing a stable source of support for the Colleges. Many of these donors are part of our recurring giving society known as Chancellor’s Changemakers. Advancement’s Annual Giving Manager coordinates direct mail, digital media, and online campaigns with a goal to maximize acquisition and retention of broad-base support. They also serve as a resource for campus units who wish to solicit donors and prospective donors through targeted campaigns throughout the year.

Consider embedding a donation form on your department’s main webpage. Advancement would work with the appropriate Communications staff to add a giving-specific subpage to your site, including your customized content and imagery. To get started, fill out and submit this form. Should you have multiple giving opportunities for donors to choose from, consider adding a short list of fundraising priorities near the top of your giving subpage so that donors who want to support your most pressing needs read about those funds first.
Crowdfunding is known as peer-to-peer giving in the fundraising world. These types of giving campaigns can be established quickly and administered directly by you. From research projects to class trips, all ideas are accepted if the money raised benefits the Colleges.
