The Annual Fund provides the essentials of the Oglethorpe experience.
Annual fund dollars support faculty development, student scholarships, library book acquisition, maintenance and upgrading of educational technology, student programs, and much more.

Your participation in the Annual Fund sends an important message.
When Oglethorpe approaches foundations and corporations about major gifts, one of the first questions asked is, "What percentage of alumni give?" Through your gift, you demonstrate to potential funders that Oglethorpe is worth an investment.


Financial strength provides flexibility.
Wonderful opportunities - for keeping abreast of new knowledge, new funding opportunities and new technologies - often arise unexpectedly. Top-notch institutions have the financial wherewithal to seize these opportunities when they arise.


Your support makes possible vitality today and tomorrow.
True financial strength is a long-term proposition. Oglethorpe needs an endowment equal to that of our peer institutions with whom we compete for students, faculty and foundation funding. While we work to grow our endowment, Annual Fund support from alumni and other friends functions as a "living endowment," insuring Oglethorpe's vigor today and in the future.
