Alumni Giving

As an alum, your gift is even more critical to the success of UC and our students.  Why?

  • Rankings – One of the first criteria used to determine college rankings, like the U.S. News & World Report and Princeton Review, is alumni participation.  The number of alumni who support their alma mater matters!
  • Corporate & Foundation Support – Currently half of all donations to UC come from private and corporate foundations.  As with college rankings, many foundations require a reporting of alumni participation to qualify UC for consideration.  The more alumni who give, the better UC’s chances are of obtaining much-needed foundation support.
  • Investment – Your support shows our students that you care about their education and motivates them to succeed.  Show our future alumni that you care about their education!
  • Respect – The national average for alumni support of private colleges and universities is over 20%.  Currently, only 10% of UC alumni support their alma mater.  You can help us get closer to our peers by making a donation today!

This year our goal is to reach 1,400 alumni donors.  Will you be the alum that makes this goal a reality today?
