As members of the Class of 2024, just like every class before us, we have been supported by the generosity of alumni and peers who give every year to enhance our education.
Now it's our turn. Together, we can make an impact on current and future students through Senior Gift. Let us join together to reach (and hopefully surpass!) 90% class participation before we graduate. Collectively, we can continue this important tradition of giving back and leave the Skidmore community better than we found it.
First, it's just important that you participate! A gift of any amount that is meaningful to you will truly make a difference. Gifts under $100 combined to fund 18 scholarships last year.
Second, give to something that you care about.
Gifts through the Skidmore Fund fuel every part of campus with resources that prioritize students and faculty. You can also choose to give to areas that made your Skidmore experience unique, or give to something you hope will improve the Skidmore experience for future generations. Where do you want to make a difference?
Here are a few of the initiatives that prior classes have made priorities.
- Support it all!
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives
- Financial Aid
- Sustainability
- Opportunity Program (OP)
- Athletics (FOSA)
Amazing! There are lots of ways for you to further support Senior Gift.
- Make a gift of $20.24 in honor of our class year.
- Make a gift of $50 and join the Young Alumni Presidents Society, Skidmore's leadership giving society. Last year, 39 students joined this prestigious society.
- Set up a recurring donation: We all have our Spotify subscriptions that we are charged for monthly without a second thought. Giving back to Skidmore can be just as easy! Consider setting up a $5 monthly gift to continually support the initiative of your choice!
- Share what you'll miss most: While making your gift, share what inspired you to give or what you'll miss most about Skidmore! Is it your friends? A professor? A favorite spot on campus? We'll share these as updates on the campaign so we can look back and reminisce all together!
