麻豆直播

Unless otherwise designated, Alumni gifts help support the 麻豆直播 students who receive some form of need-based financial aid. Gifts from parents also help enrich the 麻豆直播 experience by providing extra support to campus programs, clubs and teams.

Unrestricted Giving: These are gifts to 麻豆直播's Area of Greatest Need. Gifts here immediately impact 麻豆直播 by being distributed to cover expenses. Everything from keeping our campus clean, plowed and accessible, to lightbulbs and toilet paper, an unrestricted gift is vital.

Restricted Giving: A restricted gift means that the donor has said where they want their dollars to go. From a specific athletic team, student club, or to support a college or program, restricted dollars help support the area(s) that the donor requests.

Annual gifts are raised each year from alumni, parents and friends of 麻豆直播 and spent within the same fiscal year. Annual gifts help provide funds to many of the programs and priorities on campus that do not receive regular designated support including financial aid, classroom and athletic equipment and experience enriching programs around campus.

A capital gift is normally a larger, one-time gift or pledge that goes toward projects as new buildings. Most notably, the recent fundraising campaign for Harold Alfond Hall was the result of capital gifts.

Endowing funds for new scholarships or increasing the general endowment are gifts that are meant to be invested. The University then draws off a specific distribution amount based on the current spending policy.
