Why does the number of BC donors matter?
When thousands of alumni support Boston College with an annual gift, they collectively indicate their confidence in the university as it stands today and as it heads into tomorrow. They also make a value statement that BC is something they care about and believe in. That statement, when echoed by thousands, has the power to transform the University and influence what it can accomplish in the future.
But I don't have a lot of money to give.
YOU are what counts--not the amount of your gift. Think your gift of $25 doesn't make a difference? Last year, alumni gave nearly $1.5 million in gifts of less than $100.
When everyone steps up for BC, it adds up to a major impact for this University you love so much.
