With Emory's history and tradition of excellence comes a great legacy of generosity. Students on campus today benefit from the support of all alumni and friends who help provide them with an environment rich with opportunities through gifts to the Annual Fund.

Your participation in the Annual Fund makes the experience of today's Emory students the best it has ever been. The Emory Annual Fund provides the largest base of critical unrestricted support for Emory's schools, colleges, and libraries. Gifts from alumni, parents, and friends enhance the Emory student experience with scholarships, student programming, out-of-classroom education, curriculum enhancements, and more.

When it comes to the act of giving, size doesn't matter. Emory appreciates all gifts equally and values your support regardless of the amount. The fact that you faithfully give, at any level, shows your loyalty and belief in the mission of Emory University.

Emory is blessed with a substantial endowment. However, a significant portion of that money is in restricted trusts, in stock that doesn't pay large dividends or in earmarked accounts. The fact is, less than 20 percent of Emory's budget comes from the income generated by the endowment.

Thankfully, we have the work of the Annual Fund to supplement the day-to-day requirements of maintaining an excellent university.

It takes a lot more to run a GREAT university.

The importance of gifts to the Emory Annual Fund cannot be underestimated.
