What is the Senior Class Gift Campaign?

The Senior Class Gift Campaign is long-standing tradition at Moravian College. It is an effort to raise awareness, educate, appreciate, and celebrate philanthropy on our campus. The Senior Class Gift Campaign is your first introduction to alumni giving, and is your opportunity to help your class leave a legacy by paying it forward for future Hounds! The Senior Class Gift Committee is responsible for spearheading all campaign efforts, including educating their peers about the campaign, soliciting for the campaign, attending weekly committee meetings, and planning all senior events hosted by the Senior Class Gift Committee. These events include: 100 Days Til Graduation, 45 Days Til Graduation, and Senior Wine & Cheese.

How can I give to the Senior Class Gift Campaign?

The Senior Class Gift Campaign accepts gifts from a variety of outlets. Seniors may make their gift using cash, check, credit card, M-Flex, or their security deposit.

What is my Security Deposit?

All students who came to Moravian as resident students their Freshman Year paid a $150 security deposit. This security deposit is not used until after you graduate, in order to cover the costs of any damages that might occur in your residence hall during your senior year. If no damages occur, Moravian sends this security deposit back to you. You may give all or part of this deposit as your gift to the Senior Class Gift Campaign. If you use only a portion of your deposit, you will receive a check for the remainder after graduation. If you have a security deposit and do not wish to use it for this purpose, you can still give to the campaign using cash, check, credit card, or M-Flex.

How do I make a gift to the Senior Class Gift Campaign?

You can make your gift a number of ways! The Senior Class Gift Committee will host table sits in the HUB throughout the semester, so that seniors can learn more about the campaign, fill out their pledge forms in person, and receive important updates from committee members. You can also make your gift online!

Where does my gift go?

This year, the Senior Class Gift Committee has decided that gifts made to the Senior Class Gift Campaign will benefit the Annual Fund. The Annual Fund is all-encompassing, and acts as the foundation of fundraising at the College. Seniors may give to areas that are supported by the Annual Fund, such as: the Moravian Scholarship Fund, the Blue and Grey Club, Academic Departments, or the Center for Career and Civic Engagement. We encourage you to give to an area of the College about which you are most passionate!

What is our Campaign Goal?

This year, the Senior Class Gift Campaign goal is 70% participation. Every little bit counts towards the goal, even if it is a small contribution. If you reach 70% participation, an alumni match will contribute $7,000 to the 2019 Senior Class Gift Campaign!

Can I make my gift in honor of someone?

Absolutely! We encourage seniors to make their gift in honor of a favorite professor, coach, mentor, or staff member that greatly impacted their experience at Moravian College. To make your gift in honor of someone, simply provide his or her name on the bottom of your pledge form. A personalized letter will be sent to this person indicating that a member of the senior class made a gift in his or her honor.

Do I have to make a gift to go to the events hosted by the Senior Class Gift Committee?

No, all seniors are invited to the events hosted by the Senior Class Gift Committee! However, giving to the campaign is highly encouraged, and greatly appreciated! Every contribution will help your class reach their 70% participation goal.
