50th Reunion Class Giving
DePauw’s alumni are the single largest source of support for the University. Gifts to The Fund for DePauw and to the Endowment Fund sustain scholarships, student experiences, faculty, athletics, the School of Music, and the operation of the University overall. DePauw’s alumni make it possible for the University to continue to grow and flourish.
The collective impact of reunion year giving is significant. Traditionally, the 50th Reunion class leads the way, and this year was no different. The Class of ‘68 maintained this important DePauw tradition. The 2018 50th Reunion Class Gift — both to The Fund for DePauw and the Endowment Fund — exceeded those of all the other reunion year classes. The generosity and commitment of the Class of ‘68 is a true testament to the legacy of DePauw. Thanks to each and every classmate for making this impressive achievement possible!
Gifts from the 50th reunion class contain two parts:
-
The total of our gifts to The Fund for DePauw (unrestricted annual gifts made between July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018) and
-
The 50th Reunion Class Gift (which combines all giving since our 45th reunion including planned gifts, foundation gifts, matching gifts; as well as all pledges made through June 30, 2023; and this year’s gift to The Fund for DePauw).
Our Progress
The figures shown below are based on giving from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018.
Throughout the year, you will receive information about making gifts of any size, as well as planned gifts. If you would like to make a gift of stock, an IRA rollover, a charitable gift annuity, designate DePauw in your will, or make any other planned gift, you can read more on DePauw's legacy planning website.
