Santa Clara University

We Need You!

Last year, with the support of 7,521 alumni donors, we surpassed our goal!  Thank you to all of our amazing alumni for helping us reach 20.3% alumni participation  - the highest percentage for Santa Clara since 2006 - by June 30, 2011. We need your help in the coming year. As we continue the trend of increasing our alumni participation rate, Santa Clara aims to reach 8,200 donors and 21% alumni participation this year. Please join us in helping current students.

Alumni gifts of all sizes sustain Santa Clara University.  Collectively, thousands of individual gifts enable us to provide much needed student support, including scholarships, services, programs and facilities.  Last year gifts of $100 or less added up to more than $800,000.

Even a modest donation can give a valuable boost to Santa Clara's national standing.  Because alumni giving is regarded as one of the ways to measure alumni satisfaction with their alma mater, many foundations and corporations consider alumni giving when awarding grants for research and student programs.

The generosity of our alumni has been truly inspirational.  Thank you to each and every one of you who has made a difference in the lives of today's students.
