About

Founder’s Giving Day is the perfect time to make your gift because a group of generous alumnae/i and President Bradley and John Bradley have pledged $200,000 if 2,000 donors give on May 2! Vassar has 24-hours to reach our donor goal, and you're the one to help us get there! Plus, if 200 alumnae/i in the classes of 2009-2018 make a gift, a young alum will contribute $20,000! Class of 2019, if 25 of you make a gift on May 2, Brian Farkas '10 will give $1,000 to the Class of 2019 Scholarship Fund.

After making your gift, spread the word. Give a shout-out to Vassar on social media, using #VCkey. Then tag your VC friends and encourage them to do the same. Click on the social media tool kit button below for digital resources.

We're in the homestretch! 2,000 donors and counting!


As a result of your amazing generosity, we have met our goal of 2,000 donors, unlocking $200,000 for Vassar – thank you!


And with only a few hours to go, we have one more goal - for as many more donors to make a gift as possible! And as a final incentive, a group of generous alumnae/i have stepped up and decided to give $100 for EACH gift we receive - up to $50,000! Your gift, no matter the amount, will bring Vassar an additional $100. 

So if you still haven’t given yet but have been meaning to … well, why horse around? (After all, this Saturday is both Founder’s Day on campus and Kentucky Derby day!) 

You are KEY to making a difference at Vassar!

Thank you!

A CHALLENGE FROM PRESIDENT AND JOHN BRADLEY!

I’ve been watching the growing totals for Founder’s Giving Day with excitement, and I want to thank everyone who’s already supported Vassar today with a gift. Now, my husband John and I are issuing a challenge to those of you who have yet to make a donation. From 5 to 6:30 p.m. EDT, we’re asking 150 more donors to step up and contribute. If you do, we’ll donate $15,000 for Vassar students.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Vassar people, it’s that they like a challenge. So … go for it!

Thank you,

President Bradley
