Second Century Endowment Fund Update

The Second Century Endowment Fund had a very successful year in 2005-06.  The phone portion of the Second Century Endowment Campaign was completed in a 7-week blitz. The students managed to reach 2696 of our alumni by phone. This is approximately 54% of the 5000 for which we had phone numbers. Of those, 310 (11%) pledged a total of $73,911 to come in over the next three years. A total of $28,765 had been paid on those pledges by June 2005. Outright gifts to the campaign brought the total at years end up to almost $81,000.

This does not tell the complete story for the endowment campaign however. There are still additional pledges to come in as some alumni would not specify the amount of their donations but indicated they would contribute. A total of $423,167 has been recorded as gifts to the endowment campaign in outright gifts including several large contributions to newly named endowed scholarships. This means that the campaign as of June 2005, has achieved $497,078 since it started.

The second year of calling for the campaign began in February 2006.  The students are attempting to call and ask for the support. of all those alumni who have not yet had an opportunity to donate.
