F.A.Q.

Is it true that a high alumni giving percentage enhances WC’s national ranking?

It’s true! Graduates who give back to their alma mater send a strong message to external reviewers and potential applicants that Washington College is a worthy investment. High alumni participation can also increase the likelihood of government grant approval. And at WC, it can earn your class a trophy through the Count Me In Campaign.
When I make a gift at The 1782 Society Level ($1500+), am I supporting The Washington Fund?

That depends. The 1782 Society is a community of donors who have given a total of $1,500 or more to any designation at Washington College during one fiscal year — July 1 to June 30. Every gift to the College is deeply appreciated, though many 1782 Society members choose to give all or a portion of their contribution to The Washington Fund because it benefits all students.
Can I make a gift in honor of someone?

Of course! Washington College welcomes gifts to The Washington Fund made in memory or in honor of a favorite professor, a current student, or anyone you wish to celebrate. As always, your gift is tax deductible, so you will receive a receipt and thank you for your records. WC will also send a note to the honored individual or next of kin to inform them of your generosity.
