Soliciting Gifts

To solicit a wide group of donors for outright gifts, contact Alumni and Parent Programs. This office coordinates appeals to ensure gifts received go to the proper gift fund and to ensure donors are not being inundated with requests for gifts.

• Direct Mail Solicitation: Contact Alumni and Parent Programs
• Phone Solicitation: Contact Alumni and Parent Programs
• Peer-to-Peer Solicitation: Contact Alumni and Parent Programs

To solicit donors for large individual contributions ($10,000+), contact Campaign Programs. This office manages relationships with top donors. Solicitations over $250,000 must be approved by the President or Provost and solicitations over $25,000 must be approved by the Vice President of Development and Alumni Relations.

• Personal Solicitation: Contact Campaign Programs

To conduct other types of fund raising, including membership drives, 50/50 raffles, bake sales, events, auctions, sales with gifts attached, sponsorships, or any other form of fund raising, contact Alumni and Parent Programs. Note, these efforts must be carefully coordinated and executed to ensure compliance with all applicable tax laws.

To seek funding for anything that might be considered a "grant", then contact the Office of Sponsored Programs.
