Support the Freirich Business Plan Competition

Join in supporting entrepreneurship at Skidmore by donating to the annual Freirich Business Plan Competition.

These entrepreneurial experiences have a transformative impact on our students’ lives.

2. Designate your gift to the Competition by:
   1. Clicking “Designate my gift,” then click “Other” in the Other Programs designation section, then clicking “Continue.”

To those Skidmore alumni, parents, and friends who have donated in the past to the Skidmore Fund, thank you! Please continue to do so and contribute to the competition as an additional donation rather than in place of an annual Skidmore Fund donation. The Skidmore Fund touches every aspect of campus life, enhancing educational experiences, supporting world-class faculty and giving the College the resources to fund our most critical priorities, every day.
