Alumni and friends have different reasons for giving to Purdue. Some designate gifts to student scholarships, endowed faculty chairs, and outreach programs, while others direct gifts to new buildings or equipment.

Loyal annual donors provide the kind of philanthropy that enables Purdue to reach its goals and strive for even greater achievements. These special alumni and friends who give their support to the University year after year understand that tuition and state funding cover only a fraction of Purdue's expenses.

This distinguished group of alumni and friends—members of the Purdue Griffin Society—represent a most extraordinary group. Every year, these donors show a continuing commitment to Purdue by providing loyal support.
