Green & Gold Gift Committee

What is the Green & Gold Gift Committee?
The Green & Gold Gift Committee was established in 1998 to raise annual support from alumni who graduated from UVM a minimum of 50 years ago. The goal of the Green & Gold Gift Committee is to provide financial support to their Alma Mater, which provides a high quality education to present and future students at UVM. In addition, the Green & Gold Gift Committee provides the opportunity for older alums to show their school pride through support and collaboration with other alumni groups. 

Why should I give to UVM through the Green & Gold Gift Program?
Older alums remember UVM when the campus was smaller and less technologically advanced. As the University has grown over the years, it has been with the help of the alums who remember how it used to be and imagine what it can be in the future. If you are reading this today, you understand the impact that technology has had on the world since you graduated from UVM. Among other things, gifts raised through the Green & Gold Gift Committee support advanced technology as well as student scholarships and academic and scientific research. Remember, every gift to the Green and Gold Gift Committee plays a part in supporting UVM and its students for the next 50 years!

What is the role of a volunteer for the Green & Gold Gift Committee?
As a volunteer, your charge will be to lead the Green & Gold Gift Committee in continuing a strong tradition of commitment, support and pride in the University. Responsibilities of individuals on this committee include:

• Review a class list to identify classmates to contact and solicit, or be willing to solicit alumni selected by the UVM Fund office.
• Contact 10-20 classmates in the fall and ask them to make a meaningful gift to the Green & Gold Gift Campaign. A letter from the Committee Co-Chairs will introduce your call, encourage classmates to return for Reunion Weekend and promote participation in Green & Gold activities.
• Make a comfortable, yet meaningful and significant gift in honor of your alma mater.
• Return all solicitation materials to the UVM Fund no later than November 30, 2006.
• Attend Reunion, June 4 -7, 2009 (if possible).
• Keep in touch! Call or write to let us know how you are doing and what UVM can do for you!
