Alumni Association Budget and Finance

For many years the Alumni Association raised its own operating funds through solicitation of alumni by mail. The Oberlin Alumni Magazine was financed from these contributions and by paid subscriptions. Funds raised which exceeded operating expenses for the Association and the Magazine were contributed to the College.

The Alumni Association budget is now underwritten by the College. Each fiscal year the Executive Director submits a proposed budget for Association operations based on the needs of its programs and activities. All solicitation of funds from alumni is now done through the Development Office. The Oberlin Alumni Magazine also is underwritten by the College, and is produced through the College Relations Office.  It is sent free of charge to all graduates and all non-graduate donors.
