Please join your classmates and make your Annual Fund gift. Doing so ensures that Hamilton remains a college of opportunity and a place that transforms student lives for the better.

 

To provide an enhanced incentive to make a gift now, nine generous Hamilton trustees – Steve Anthony '59, Amy Owens Goodfriend '82, Kevin Kennedy '70, A.G. Lafley '69, Stuart Scott '61, P'91,'06, David Solomon '84, Charlie Svenson '61, P'00, Jack Withiam '71 and Nina Carroll P'90 –  will contribute $400,000 in "bonus" unrestricted gifts as successive participation goals are reached leading to the achievement of the fund's ultimate goal of 52 percent alumni participation on June 30. This Alumni Participation Challenge incentive works like this:

 

With a gift to the Hamilton Annual Fund, you touch the lives of every student and faculty member. Through your generosity, you provide financial aid, strengthen support for faculty research and make possible countless student opportunities for personal and intellectual growth. Please accept my deepest thanks in advance.
