Why Giving Matters
Your generosity:
Creates opportunity and access
Helps Goucher attract highly-qualified and motivated students and ensures the Goucher
experience is accessible. A majority of Goucher students require financial assistance.
Affects national rankings
Each gift, regardless of the amount, counts equally in the criteria that many publications
– including U.S. New & World Report – use to produce annual rankings. Alumni participation, from gifts of all sizes,
makes the difference.
Supports academics & community
From attracting and retaining great faculty and staff to providing competitive facilities
and research opportunities. Supports collaboration with communities at home and abroad as each new generation
of scholars engages in outreach and engagement.
Inspires others
Your philanthropy shows foundations and fellow alumni that Goucher is supported by
this community.
