The Oberlin Alumni Fund » Young Alumni Giving

Young alumni support is essential for Oberlin to be able to offer a uniquely excellent education to future Obies. Gifts of any size actually add up quite quickly. Oberlin has over 33,000 alumni; however, if just half of the young alums out there gave just $12 each, that would mean over $46,000 for scholarships, programs, and much more. Likewise, if just a third of the graduates of the last decade made a donation of any size, it would raise Oberlin's participation rate by almost 10 points to nearly 50 percent overall. If you graduated from Oberlin in the last 10 years (1999-2008), your alma mater considers you to be among its young alumni.

To learn more about the 2008-2009 Young Alumni Challenge, which raised over $9,000 in matching dollars as a result of gifts from over 600 young alumni, please click on the image below!

Please consider Making a Gift to The Oberlin Alumni Fund today. There are over 200 funds that make up The Oberlin Alumni Fund, ranging from general headings like research support and conservatory scholarships to specific departmental, organization, or project funds. An unrestricted gift helps support all these parts of Oberlin at the same time.
