The Campaign for Georgian Court: Annual Giving and Alumni Participation Initiative

What is Annual Giving?

This is an opportunity for all friends and alumni of Georgian Court to make a difference and have a positive impact on the lives of thousands of students. This initiative's goals are to increase the alumni-giving percentage rate of 20 to 30 percent, and double annual giving for operations over the next five years. Annual Giving provides much needed support for scholarships, academic programs, cocurricular activities, library acquisitions, technology, new initiatives, and buildings and grounds maintenance.

To give a gift, please Contact Us or Give Your Annual Gift Online Now.

• All gifts–regardless of the amount–are appreciated and truly make a difference in the lives of thousands of students.
• Corporations and foundations pay attention to our percentage of alumni contributors to determine whether they will support Georgian Court. The percentage is also one of the ways in which we are compared to other colleges and universities.
