The Importance of Annual Giving

The fundamental importance of Annual Giving lies in its flexibility. Annual Giving provides unrestricted dollars for current use, which affords the Dean the flexibility of applying funds to the areas within the School of Management of greatest need at any particular time.

An important characteristic of Annual Giving is that it allows everyone in every constituency to participate in the life of the institution. One doesn’t need to be wealthy in order to take a leading part in providing for the school’s well-being and future. Any gift to the Annual Giving fund will help achieve that end because the Dean will be able reallocate that fund to the area of greatest opportunity--immediately. In a sense, the Annual Giving fund serves as a venture capital fund that allows a donor to have the greatest possible impact on the financial well-being of the school.

Because Annual Giving is unrestricted, it can be used for any purpose, including:

  • Providing additional measures of financial aid.
  • Buying the latest technology in computer systems for the School of Management’s computer lab.
  • Providing for additional student services in areas such as career planning and placement.
  • Attracting a quality faculty.
  • Renovating classrooms and up-dating them with the latest audio/visual technology including distant learning devises.
In a very real sense, Annual Giving allows the School of Management to do things that help set us apart from other institutions, to work towards achieving our vision of being the "premier public business school in the Northeast."
