2026 Reunion Giving
As your class marks this milestone, please consider reflecting on the moments, relationships, and values that shaped your experience and recognize them with a gift to The Governor’s Fund. Your support will pay it forward to the next generation and helps ensure that what matters to you will continue to shape the lives of students today, and tomorrow.
How is a Reunion Class Gift calculated?
In essence, it is the cumulative giving by a class over 5 fiscal years.
All new gifts and new pledges made during the previous 4 fiscal years, plus the gifts and pledges made the year of your milestone reunion. Payments made on pledges prior to the last reunion cycle do not count.
Is there a deadline to give to my Reunion Class Gift?
Yes - our fiscal year runs parallel to the school year, from July 1 - June 30. All gifts or pledge payments need to be received by June 30, 2026.
What if I don't want to to give online?
You are welcome to choose from a variety of different Ways to Give which include sending a personal check, donating through a Donor Advised Fund or Family Foundation, gifting appreciated stock, sending a wire transfer, or submitting an employer matching gift.
Can I make a multi-year pledge?
Absolutely! Through our online giving platform, you can sign up for a recurring gift, either monthly or annually. This is a great option to set it and forget it until your next milestone reunion!
