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.

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!
2261 days ago by Bridget HollenbackOver 2,000 donors in under 24-hours! Way to go, Vassar community! There's still 3.5 hours left, so let's keep unlocking potential!
You all blew the doors off of President and John Bradley's 90 minute, $15,000 challenge! They were looking for 150 donors....
Great job, everyone!!! Let's keep this going!

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
