Classmates,
Remember our late-night study sessions, the lifelong friendships formed in our houses, and the professors who inspired our passion for knowledge? These experiences were made possible by the generosity of those who came before us. Now, it’s our turn to pay it forward. Each of our donations, no matter the size, matters. We have the power to transform lives, shape the future, and ensure that our love of Smith continues to thrive.
We wanted to share that our FY23 Results for participation was great – we upped our class participation percentage by 7% from FY22, to 27%, which equals 153 donors who gave from class of ‘93 in FY23!
There are a number of creative ways to think about giving – we’d be happy to talk to you about what might work for you! There is even a handy Matching Gift Lookup tool which lets you know if your employer matches your gift—you give $1 and Smith receives $2— and you get the credit for all of it! Smith93 classmates will also be offering matches and challenges over the next months for additional incentives.
Please don’t shy away from connecting with your friends and classmates to reminisce about your time at Smith and talk about the awesome students and opportunities available on campus today.
Did you know… that the cost of educating a student is actually more than the tuition, room, and board fees?
Did you know… that a gift, no matter the size, has an impact on participation and that donations under $100 add up to about $500,000 each year!?
In order to attract top talent in students and faculty, we need alumnae support. Gifts to The Smith Fund boost our participation, which affects college rankings in U.S. News and World Report.
Click on the button below to make your donation. And consider setting an automated monthly donation to Smith.
You will see a drop-down to specify where you want to direct your gift. Now that we have a Class of 1993 Endowed Scholarship Fund, you can split what you would normally give to the Endowed Fund and the Smith Fund.
This scholarship is a wonderful way to start this next Reunion cycle, leading up to our 35th Milestone Reunion in 2028!
