Campus Campaign Supports Student Experience
The annual Campus Campaign is under way, with most College employees receiving solicitation letters last week. Tax-deductible gifts are a way to make a positive impact for Alma College students, says Brandan Snook, Advancement Associate. Nearly 150 Alma College employees — a 10 percent increase from the previous year —will be recognized in the next Honor Roll of Donors for donations last year totaling $63,598. Gifts may be designated to a specific fund or department or given as unrestricted dollars to the ALMA FUND. Employees may make a one-time gift or sign up for payroll deduction to have a set amount automatically donated from each paycheck. Click here for online giving.
