The class gifts program has three major objectives:

• To increase alumni participation in private support of the University.
• To encourage alumni to increase their giving to the University during milestone anniversary years.
• To fund special class-specific projects in honor of a class’s significant anniversary.

Annual Gifts – Gifts in support of University schools, departments, or special units such as Purdue Musical Organizations, WBAA radio, or Convocations count toward the class-gift totals. Gifts to the John Purdue Club in support of Purdue Athletics also are included in those totals.

Class Project Gifts – The class-gift campaign total includes gifts to the special project undertaken by each class to commemorate its significant anniversary.

Planned Gifts – Alumni may provide for Purdue’s future by including the University in their estate plans. A variety of charitable trust arrangements can provide immediate tax advantages and an income stream for life. Purdue’s planned giving staff is available to answer your questions.

CLASS GIFT CAMPAIGN TOTAL – Each class-gift campaign spans a 12-month period. All gifts and pledges made by class members during the campaign period count toward the class gift total.
