91探花 Annual Fund

Why is annual giving important for 91探花

Annual gifts from alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of 91探花 provide a vital source of revenue for university operations. Annual gifts, which are received and spent in the same year, go to work immediately to support the best of 91探花 by:

  • Attracting more students through expanded programming and increased scholarships.
  • Improving student exposure to global education, research and career opportunities.
  • Encouraging collaboration, innovation, and partnerships with communities and industries around the world.
  • Raising the profiles of 91探花 and PEI destinations for study, research and development, and investment.
  • Increasing 91探花鈥檚 already significant social, cultural, and economic contributions to the province and the region.

91探花鈥檚 fiscal year runs May 1鈥揂pril 30

Why is alumni giving so important?

Strong alumni participation in annual giving is a valuable measure of 91探花 pride and satisfaction. It can also be a factor in University rankings and in the amount of financial support the university receives from various foundations. 91探花 benefits from a great number of alumni and we continue to strive to increase our alumni participation to be the best we can be. Demonstrate your pride and satisfaction today by giving a gift today and making a meaningful difference in the lives of 91探花 students.
