Why I Support Annual Giving

"Women have made a lot of progress in society, but we have still not reached a point where there is true gender equality. Mindful of this, I try to help other women when I have the chance. Giving back to Wellesley is one clear, strong way for me to reach out to the next generation of women who will make a difference in the world."

- Alecia DeCoudreaux '76 is the Chair of Wellesley's Board of Trustees.

We must maintain a strong tradition of Annual Giving so that the College can address urgent needs and take advantage of unexpected opportunities. Annual Giving also supports ongoing investments in the following areas:

Competitive salaries for a world-class faculty
Financial aid for Wellesley students currently enrolled at the College
Preservation of buildings and grounds
Library acquisitions
New educational technologies

Reunion Gifts
Reunion Gifts celebrate alumnae's ties to the College.

Senior Gift
The Senior Gift instills in students a spirit of giving.

Parents Fund
Giving to the Parents Fund, moms and dads thank the College that has made a difference for their daughters.

Durant Society
The Durant Society is Wellesley's donor-recognition program.

GOLD Circle
In addition to the Durant Society, the GOLD Circle was formed to recognize other meaningful gifts from Wellesley's "Graduates of the Last Decade".

Annual Giving Scholars Program
The Annual Giving Scholars Program is a unique opportunity for alumnae, parents and friends to be directly involved in the education of a Wellesley student.
