Ten Reasons to Give to the Santa Clara Fund |
| 1 | The Santa Clara Fund provides funding for programs that enhance the undergraduate experience ... tomorrow's leaders of competence, conscience, and compassion. | |
| 2 | Every Santa Clara student's education is subsidized. The Santa Clara Fund helps bridge the gap between the actual cost of a Santa Clara education and what students pay for tuition and fees. | |
| 3 | When you support the Santa Clara Fund, you support the core needs of undergraduate education. When these basic needs are met, the entire university benefits- a well-supported university attracts top-quality faculty, encourages innovation, and promotes cutting-edge programs and initiatives. | |
| 4 | You love Santa Clara and want to give something back in appreciation to commemorate your undergraduate days at the Mission. | |
| 5 | Your gift helps underwrite scholarships. Roughly 16 percent of the Santa Clara Fund is designated for scholarships each year. Last year, more than 68% of undergraduate students received scholarship support largely funded by gifts made to the Santa Clara Fund. | |

| 7 | With a gift to the Santa Clara Fund, you play a vital role in ensuring that students now at Santa Clara have the same opportunities you did. | |
| 8 | Your Leadership gift makes a difference. Leadership gifts inspire participation from fellow alumni, participation which in turn helps Santa Clara secure even larger gifts from corporations and foundations. | |
| 9 | The Santa Clara Fund provides greatly needed renewable support, augmenting the payout from Santa Clara's endowment, an endowment smaller than that of our top Catholic competitors'. | |
