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.
