The Class of 2021, like all classes before us and those to come after, has been supported by the generosity of donors -- alumni, families, friends, even faculty and staff and fellow students open their wallets to enhance our education.
They've donated to things that we've all benefited from like financial aid, campus programing, career services, diversity and inclusion initiatives, the student emergency fund, and the Fordham fund -- where dollars meet the most pressing, current needs of the University and students like us.
Now it's our turn. Let's join together to reach (hopefully surpass!) 10% class participation -- 200 donors -- before we graduate. Let's leave Fordham better than we found it.
What Should I Give To?
First, it's just important that you give at all! Any gift of any amount truly does make a difference.
Second, give to something that you care about. Pick something that made your experience at Fordham better, or that you want to help be better in the future! Where do you want to make a difference? Give there.
Here are a few of the initiatives that the Class of 2021 believes are top priorities. Give to one of these, or write in one of your own!
- The Student Emergency Fund
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Fund
- Financial Aid and Scholarships
- The Fordham Fund
- Campus Clubs and Activities
I Want to Take It To The Next Level!
Amazing! There are lots of ways for you to further support this campaign and GiveCampus University students.
- Make a gift of $50 and join the Young Alumni President's Club - an exclusive donor society!
- Set up a recurring donation: We all have our Netflix or Spotify subscriptions that we are charged for monthly without a second thought. Giving back to Fordham can be just as easy! Consider setting up a $5 monthly gift to continually support the initiative of your choice!
- Share what you'll miss most: While making a gift of any size, share what you'll miss most about Fordham! Is it your fiends? A professors? A campus hot spot? We'll share these as updates on the campaign so you can look back and reminisce all together!
