Give To Morgan

"Alumni giving" is a phrase used often in academia and the philanthropic community. This refers to university alumni giving charitable dollars to their alma maters. The alumni giving rate is tracked on an annual basis. The rate simply reflects the percentage of alumni, for whom the university has valid contact information, who made charitable contributions in the previous year. The dollar amount of the gift does not matter.

In addition to the obvious benefit of providing dollars for student assistance and scholarships, program support and faculty development, these alumni gifts are important for other reasons. Many corporations and foundations use the alumni giving rate as a factor for determining whether they will make grants to Morgan. In other words, if the alumni don't support the University, why should they?

So you can see why it is important that we give and give annually to our beloved alma mater. This is a yearly calculation. We Morganites have an enormous amount of loyalty to and pride in our school. We just need to let our love for Morgan manifest itself in annual financial support.
