Make a gift to the 2024/2025 Purple & Gold Fund in honor of your Reunion!
This year, we are offering two exciting giving opportunities to alumnae:
Increase your impact by unlocking a match! Every new member of the Satterlee Society (those who make a gift of $2,500+) will unlock an additional $1,250 for the Purple & Gold Fund (formerly the Annual Fund), generously given by fellow alumna Carol Armstrong Dillon ’63 and her husband Tom. The Alumnae Office will count the matches in your Reunion giving totals.
Demonstrate your loyalty by making a multi-year Purple & Gold Fund pledge, and the full amount will count towards your class giving totals. For example, pledge $500 for each of the next five years and the total amount of $2,500 will count towards your Reunion giving total. To make a pledge, please contact the Director of Annual Giving Molly Wadsworth at (202) 537-6676.
As a reminder, Reunion Classes compete for two awards:
The Board of Visitors Trophy, given to the Class with the most dollars raised comprehensively (Purple & Gold Fund, endowment, etc.), and The Hollerith-Ouverson Award, given to the Class with the highest percent participation in the Purple & Gold Fund. These awards will be presented during Saturday's Alumnae Awards Luncheon.
Why should I give to NCS?
The Purple & Gold Fund (formerly the Annual Fund) accounts for eight percent of the school's operating budget, making it NCS's top fundraising priority each year. The greatest way to honor your milestone Reunion, support the needs of current students, and express appreciation for your time at and after NCS, is to make a gift to the Purple & Gold Fund. Reunion gifts play a critical role in expanding the opportunities available to our students and teachers beyond what is covered by tuition.
In fiscal year 2024 (7/1/23 - 6/30/24), 981 alumnae gave over $796,000 to the Purple & Gold Fund. Of that, Reunion giving accounted for $165,000 from 273 alumnae. Reunion gifts play an important role in ensuring that the school reaches its Purple & Gold Fund goal each year. The fiscal year 2025 (7/1/24 - 6/30/25) goal is $2.5 million.
