Graduates of the past decade donated $233,618 to Elon during 2008-2009, the first year of IGNITE, the university’s annual giving program for young alumni.
A total of 1,009 young alums made gifts, including 49 who joined The Elon Society, the university’s premier annual giving recognition society. The average gift from young alumni was $137.
