Beginning November 29 at 12:00 am, we are asking all Vassar alumnae/i, parents and friends to make a gift of any size. Our goal of 1,000 donations is all about showing the strength and vitality of the Vassar community.
We are excited to report that a generous, anonymous alumna has pledged to donate $100,000 if we hit our goal of 1,000 donations!
So, make your gift, and encourage others to support #OurVassar by creating a challenge or a match! Use the #OurVassar social media toolkit to share the campaign on social media. Tag your friends, send them a text or give them a call. Help spread the word!
24 hours. 1,000 donations.
All gifts will be directed to the Vassar Fund. Your gift strengthens the educational experience that has always been, and continues to be, uniquely Vassar.
In an ever more uncertain world, supporting Vassar is the best investment in the future you can make.
If you have questions about the campaign or making a donation, please call 1-800-443-8196.
*Any gifts received on #GivingTuesday will count toward your reunion class total!

We started this #GivingTuesday with a goal of 1,000 donations in a 24 hour period. We are thrilled to announce that not only did we achieve that goal, we surpassed it by 37%! It is with the greatest of pride in the Vassar community, and with the utmost respect that we thank all alumnae/i, parents, friends and students for your generosity and support of #OurVassar. Thank you!
This is your last chance to participate in the 24-hour #OurVassar challenge, and to spread the word to encourage others to make a gift! There is a $100 match for every gift, no matter how large or small. This is Your Vassar. This is #OurVassar! Let's end this strong! Thanks to all for their commitment to the Vassar community!
We've gotten another 100 donations! We're up to 1300 with only 90 minutes left in the 24-hour challenge! We still have our generous and exuberant alumnus giving $100 for every gift, no matter the size, up to another $20,000! One final push to support #OurVassar! Thank you!!
WE’VE HIT OUR SECOND GOAL!!! Your generosity allowed us to reach our goal of 1000 donations in 24 hours with hours to spare!
A small group of generous alumnae/i were so motivated, they offered to give $250 for each gift up to $50,000! This would bring us to 1200 donations! The Vassar alumanae/i, parents, friends and students crushed it, burning through 1200 donations in no time!
An enthusiastic alumnus reminded us we still have a few hours to go in our 24-hour challenge! He has offered to give $100 for EACH gift, no matter the size, up to $30,000!
How far can we take this?? That’s up to you! Give now and help spread the word about the final push of our 24-hour challenge!
Sisters, Kristin Koehler Ferguson '77, Carolyn Koehler '70, and Jane Koehler '75 all gave to support the #OurVassar campaign today! Have you made your gift yet? Help us get to our new goal of 1,200 donations!
We set a goal of 1,000 donations in 24 hours. We have received so many gifts from so many of our alumnae/i, parents, friends, and students! We thank you for your generosity. We are thrilled to announce that WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!!
But wait, there’s more. A small group of engaged and generous alumnae/i have been so inspired by your generosity, they have put together a pool of additional matching funds!! They will match each new gift, no matter how big or small, with $250 per gift up to $50,000! Their challenge is to get us to 1200 donations!! Can we do it?
Update: We are now just past 75% of our goal of 1,000 donations! Just under 250 to go! Thanks to all alumnae/i, parents, friends and students for supporting #OurVassar so far! Now let's hit that goal!
