The annual alumni giving percentage is often used to determine the College’s eligibility to receive certain grants and can affect national rankings, so gifts of any amount are welcome and encouraged. Your support also has a tremendous impact on scholarships, academic departments, and extracurricular programs.

Given the high demand for housing at Alumni Weekend, priority registration is given several days in advance to our annual donors of $100+ (July 1 – February 28) as a way of thanking them for their support of the College.

We encourage you to participate in Giving Tuesday, or you can make an Annual Gift anytime between July 1 and June 30 to BeCounted the fiscal year.

If you’re interested in other types of giving, such as named scholarships or bequest commitments, contact the Office of Advancement at advancementoffice@smcm.edu.
