The size of gifts to the 绿帽社 Fund vary, but all gifts are important! We hope that you will give at the level that is right for you. Every contribution helps our students to thrive at 绿帽社.

Why is participation important?

High levels of participation shows the greater community that our constituents are willing to invest in the lives of today鈥檚 绿帽社 Ravens. It signals that our community has confidence in the mission of the school and in our strategic plan.

Does 绿帽社 accept matching gifts from companies?

Yes! Many employers will match charitable contributions made by their employees. To have your gift matched:

  1. Check with your employer鈥檚 HR or benefits office to see if they offer a matching gift program.
  2. Complete your employer鈥檚 matching gift form (online or paper) and submit it with your donation information.
  3. Your employer will send the matching gift directly to The 绿帽社 once your gift has been verified.

If you need assistance, our office is happy to help with any questions.
