• All new alumni donations will be matched one-to-one by the Malott Family. That doubles the amount of your contribution! Matches are available up to $20,000 or June 30, whichever comes first – we hope it’s the $20,000!
• All classes are participating in the Alumni Class Challenge. Donors who are members of the highest participating class will each receive an exclusive IMSA Alumni Sweatshirt! (Check out the web site for class participation results to see how close you are to receiving IMSA swag!)

Your gift – regardless of the amount – shows your support and helps IMSA demonstrate to the State Legislators the importance of IMSA to you and future generations of IMSA students. These are just two of the many great reasons to make your gift before June 30!

We are currently at 7% and still need 543 more alumni donors to make their contribution to achieve 20% participation. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter for the latest news and activity.

Thank you for your support, and thanks to all the alumni who have already participated in the 20% Alumni Giving campaign!

Happy Holidays IMSA Alumni!
I hope you are preparing for a festive holiday season and an exciting new decade! But before you run off to your holiday parties and ring in the new year, I hope you will consider joining your fellow alumni by making a contribution to the IMSA Fund.

As you know, the IMSA Fund uses your contributions to support the students and faculty of IMSA, which allows the students to have access to equipment and opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable. Each year we set a participation goal for alumni giving. This year, that goal is 18% alumni participation by July 2010. We hope to be half way there by the end of December 31, 2009!

We need 252 alumni to make their gift this holiday season to reach that goal - Be Counted and make your gift today!!

A holiday appeal from IMSA and the IMSA Fund will soon reach you by mail. Please take the time to read it and send in your annual contribution before December 31. You can also visit the IMSA web site, www.imsa.edu/giving, to make a gift on-line and learn more about our giving options.

As an alternate, we have introduced Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) this holiday season! EFT is a secure way to deliver your gifts directly and automatically from your bank to the IMSA Fund. As with online giving, EFT donations allow us to minimize administrative expenses. Visit the web site for details and to sign up!

Have a safe and happy holiday, and thank you for your support!
