You have an important role to play in Oxy’s Campaign For Good.
Since 1887, the philanthropy of Oxy’s alumni, parents, and friends, like you, have allowed the College to offer the highest quality liberal arts education to students from all backgrounds. Gifts of all sizes have an immediate and enduring impact. Every gift that you make, each year of the campaign, will count toward the goal of 70,000.
Generations of grateful alumni have made a statement with their philanthropy: an Oxy education is transformative and worthwhile. To sustain this culture, Oxy must grow our philanthropic community of alumni. We need your help to increase our family of alumni donors by 2,000 and reach the campaign goal of 38% cumulative alumni participation.
Why does alumni giving participation matter? College ranking publications, grant giving institutions, employers, prospective students and parents, all look to our alumni participation rate as a signal of alumni satisfaction. Reaching our campaign goal will have a positive effect on our annual alumni giving rate, which currently stands at 15% according to U.S. News and World Report.
Oxy deserves to be among the best colleges in America, because we are one of the best colleges in America. Give to what you love, and give an amount that makes you feel good. Oxy’s students and faculty are worthy of your support.
When families make gifts to Oxy, they are investing in the leaders and change-makers of tomorrow. Oxy students graduate with the critical thinking and problem solving skills they need to excel in a range of professions.
But Oxy can’t take all the credit. Tiger families go above and beyond to ensure that their students’ four years at Oxy are exceptional. Parents host events, plan tailgates, fundraise, offer internships, speak in classrooms, and, they make gifts in support of their children and their children’s peers.
Please make a gift that is meaningful for your family, and know that your generosity is making an outsized impact on your student’s experience.
Your support of the Oxy Campaign For Good impacts students today and for generations to come. Please join us.
We’re supposed to give to the places that seem to further our view of the world, and we expect there are other students like [our daughter] whom we could help.
