How was my gift used last year?

The Founders Association's annual fund includes the Faculty and Staff Campaign, the Alumni Phone-a-Thon, and the Community Appeal. All unrestricted gifts raised from these fund drives during 2008-09 were expended as follows:

• 50% for scholarships
• 34% for use within University departments and units
  (ex., professional development funds, gallery exhibit support, speaker series, campus and community activities, publications, etc.)
• 16% for general operations
  (includes donor recognition, solicitation, and the Founders Association Awards for Excellence)

Designated gifts were used for the specified purposes, such as gifts to scholarship endowments, professorship endowments, etc.
