What is the senior class gift drive?

This drive is an opportunity for our class to participate in a class project and leave our legacy at Goshen College. The goal of the 2010 senior class gift would be to have the entire class of ‘10 contribute. Our ’10 senior class gift will go toward the Student Aid Fund, to provide financial aid to the most needy of future GC students. 

How does the gift drive work?

Any size gift will be appreciated. There are three ways to donate. First, you can designate a portion of your small group housing deposit. Secondly, you can donate with cash or check. Lastly, you can donate on this site. Simply follow the links on the right side of this page. For additional information about joining your fellow seniors in supporting the gift drive feel free to call the GC Development office at 574-535-7559.  

This drive is an opportunity for your class to participate in a class project and leave your legacy at Goshen College . The ultimate goal of the 2010 senior class gift would be to have a 100% of the class of 2010 participate.  An astounding 48% of the 2009 class contributed, their gifts totaled over $2,000. 

Why would a financially strapped college student choose to donate to the '10 senior class gift?

It’s time to think about the larger picture. This is your chance to start investing into the education of future Goshen College students. Your gift, no matter the size, helps build a legacy for your class that will benefit those to follow. The hope is that this is the first step in a lifetime of giving back. While you were a student you have been supported by alumni and friends of Goshen College . Now it is your turn to join the tradition of good stewardship. The GC Fund is the most effective way to give back to Goshen College .        

We hope all seniors will participate, no matter the amount, to ensure the success of the program and leave a legacy for future students. You can make a gift of any amount that is comfortable for you by cash, check, or credit card. If you have a housing deposit - you may apply a portion of it towards your gift.

Thanks for your support!
