Alumni contribute $1.3 million in annual gifts

Alumni have contributed $1,385,578 in annual gifts to the
Elon Fund as of mid-May. Thank you for your support! The Elon
Fund goal for 2005-2006 is to raise $1.5 million in annual
support by May 31. We are almost there!

Alumni participation in annual giving this year is 19.5%.
Our goal for 2005-2006 is to increase the percentage of
alumni who make annual gifts to 32%. The alumni participation
rate is a measure of alumni satisfaction and an important
factor in college rankings and attracting support from
private foundations.

Unrestricted gifts to the Elon Fund support the best of your
alma mater, including superb faculty, outstanding facilities,
scholarship assistance and signature programs such as
study abroad, internships and service learning opportunities.

The theme of this year’s annual giving campaign is
Getting Aboard the Elon Express. We need your support to keep
the Elon Express moving down the track! If you have not made
a gift this year, you can make your credit card gift online
at our secure site at www.elon.edu/makeagift.
Or call Elon toll free at 877-784-3566 to make your credit
card gift over the phone.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of Elon
students!
