Part of being an actively engaged young alumna is beginning the lifelong habit of contributing to the Bryn Mawr College Annual Fund. Each year, gifts to the Annual Fund support important programs and resources for students on campus. Make a gift to the Annual Fund and you'll be supporting financial aid and scholarships for current and incoming Bryn Mawr students, competitive salaries to attract and keep first-rate faculty, preservation of Bryn Mawr's beautiful buildings and grounds, new educational technologies and student programs, and so much more. You'll be continuing the tradition of philanthropy begun by so many Bryn Mawr women before you, women whose gifts supported Bryn Mawr during your time as a student.
As an alumna of Bryn Mawr, your gift to the College also works for you. Because the percentage of alumnae that make gifts to the College each year affects Bryn Mawr's standings among national college rankings organizations, a gift to Bryn Mawr helps maintain the prestige and reputation of your degree throughout your lifetime. Contributions to the Annual Fund also allow Bryn Mawr to continue admitting the best and brightest women regardless of financial need – meaning Bryn Mawr can continue to produce outstanding graduates and maintain its accomplished alumnae network.
For GOLD alumnae, the key is participation in the Annual Fund. For alumnae just starting out, particularly in these times, a gift need not be large to be meaningful. High rates of participation in Annual Giving help Bryn Mawr secure grants and funding from foundations and leverage larger gifts from older alumnae. And with nearly 3,000 GOLD alumnae, even small gifts add up to big numbers.
This year, help Bryn Mawr Graduates Of the Last Decade achieve 800 donors and 28% participation – make your gift to the Annual Fund today!
