Young alumni pledging options
Multi-year pledges make your Presidents Society giving even easier and more affordable. Young alumni who opt for a five-year pledge agreement their first year out, or at their fifth or 10th Reunions, maintain their Young Alumni Presidents Society status and giving level until their next Reunion. Here are a few examples:
- Example 1: You are a member of the Class of 2017. In your first year after graduation, you make a pledge $100 per year for five years. Your pledge means your gift stays at $100 in your fifth year (instead of increasing to $250), and maintains your place in the Young Alumni Presidents Society.
- Example 2: You are a member of the Class of 2013. At your fifth Reunion, you pledge $250 per year for five years. Your pledge means your gift stays at $250 in your seventh through ninth years (instead of increasing to $500), and maintains your place in the Young Alumni Presidents Society.
- Example 3: You are a member of the Class of 2008. At your 10th Reunion, you pledge $1,000 per year for five years. Your pledge means your gift stays at $1,000 in your 10th–14th years (instead of increasing to $2,500), and maintains your place in the Presidents Society.
Many young alums prefer pledging because taking care of their giving early eliminates ongoing solicitations from Skidmore.
