The Importance of Participation
Each year’s results provide encouragement and confidence to the trustees as they plan for
the future, from upholding the University’s
commitment to meeting the full financial need of
students to sustaining and enhancing extraordinary
opportunities for learning and discovery.
Continuing their impressive leadership,
the youngest five classes posted stellar
participation totals, averaging 71.4 percent. These
results are due to the infectious enthusiasm of
a strong corps of volunteers. At the same time,
his year’s participation results once again
showed the loyalty of Princeton’s alumni.
Achieving a participation rate of 60.8 percent,
undergraduate alumni participation surpassed
the 60 percent mark for the first time in a decade.
The 2009-10 campaign not only drew the largest
number of alumni donors ever – 35,351 – but also
brought in a record-setting number of gifts from all
constituencies – 42,751.
Princeton’s strong alumni participation is essential for maintaining the University’s excellence.
they show that our most recent graduates place an
exceptional value on their Princeton education.
The major reunion classes, as a group, also
helped to boost the overall participation effort, with
each class posting an increased rate of
participation over last year, led by the Class of 1950
with 84.1 percent.
Another notable achievement: The Class of 1942
attained the highest participation rate among all
classes with a class roll of 25 or more, with 89.1
percent. Under the leadership of Class Agent Bruce
McDuffie ’42, the class improved participation by
nearly five percentage points over last year.
“It is the remarkable breadth of participation that
supports Princeton’s pursuit of excellence,” said Annual Giving Chair R. Kelly Doherty ’81.
“Literally every single gift makes a difference, and
immediately impacts life on campus.”

Connect: A Black Alumni
Leadership Initiative
L
aunched during the Coming Back and Moving
Forward conference in October 2009,
Connect: A Black Alumni Leadership Initiative
aims to involve black alumni more deeply in
the life of the University as volunteers, leaders,
and donors.
With goals of raising $4 million and increasing
participation by black alumni to 60 percent during
the Aspire campaign, Connect Co-Chairs Dennis
Brownlee ’74 and Brent Henry ’69 have placed
Annual Giving at the top of its agenda. As of
June 30, the effort had raised $3.2 million in
cumulative giving, including Annual Giving totals to
date of $1.4 million and 49 percent participation.
Annual Giving and the
Aspire campaign
or the five-year period beginning in 2007 and
ending in 2012, Princeton is seeking to raise
a total of $1.75 billion through a University-wide
campaign entitled Aspire: A Plan for Princeton.
Annual Giving is a vital part of this effort — in
fact, the campaign’s first priority — and is
striving to provide at least $250 million as part of
the overall goal.
Gifts to Annual Giving support the University’s
highest priorities, and so have a direct and
immediate impact. These unrestricted funds
support teaching and learning and the comprehensive financial aid program, provide funds for new
initiatives, and help to meet emerging needs and
challenges.
Annual Giving continues to strengthen our
connection to Princeton and to help the University
maintain its margin of excellence for future
generations of students and faculty. All alumni, parents, and friends have an opportunity,
through Annual Giving, to participate in the
Aspire campaign.

The Annual Giving Endowment
y directing a bequest or trust to the Annual
Giving Endowment, alumni, parents, and
friends can continue the tradition of supporting
current and future generations of Princetonians.
Through the Annual Giving Endowment,
classes from the 19th and early 20th century
continue to support Annual Giving long after
their last surviving members have passed away.
The legendary Class of 1898 contributed just over
$750,000 to the 2009-10 campaign—the highest
total among all classes with an Annual Giving
Endowment.
In 2009-10, the total income from the Annual
Giving Endowment was more than $4 million. For
more information, contact the Annual Giving office
at 609-258-3373, or e-mail [email protected].

Special Thanks to AG Volunteers
he success of Annual Giving is a direct result of
the dedication and efforts of the thousands of
volunteers representing all of Princeton’s classes.
Tradionally, the classes celebrating major reunions
present the University with a special contribution to
Annual Giving. The efforts of these classes are a vital
component in the success of each year’s campaign and
typically account for more than half of the overall
Annual Giving total.
In the 2009-10 campaign, $26.7 million of the
overall campaign total came from the major reunions
classes. A key factor in achieving these results is the
hard work of each class’s Special Gifts team. These
teams give careful personal attention to their prospective leading donors.
The leaders of these efforts are listed to the right.
Princeton extends its heartfelt thanks to each of
them and to the dozens of classmates with whom
they worked.

“I am delighted with this year’s splendid Annual Giving
results, which are especially important midway through
the Aspire campaign and so meaningful in this difficult
economic climate. These unrestricted funds are vital to
sustaining Princeton’s excellence in teaching and
research while preserving our commitments to financial
aid and graduate fellowships. I am deeply grateful to all
the volunteers for their remarkable dedication, and to
our alumni, parents, and friends for their loyal and
generous support of Princeton.”
