Annual Giving

Alumnae/i, parents, trustees, friends--the Annual Fund is the tangible result of their common belief in Goucher College. For more than 65 years their unrestricted yearly financial support has helped fulfill the ongoing needs of the college.

Gifts to the Annual Fund benefit current Goucher programs by providing resources not covered by tuition and fees. Because these gifts are unrestricted, the money can be used wherever the need is the greatest, including:

• Merit and need-based scholarships
• Faculty salaries
• Guest lecturers and artists
• Student and faculty collaboration and research
• Advancements in technology
• Improvement of buildings and grounds

No matter who you are or what you value most about the college, there is a way for you to support Goucher.

The Goucher Associates

Recent graduates who manage to give back to their alma mater--despite hectic lives and entry-level pay--are pretty special people. That’s why the college recognizes as Goucher Associates alumnae/i who contribute any amount to Annual Fund within their first 15 years after graduation.  Click here to learn more about Goucher Associates.

The Parents Fund

The Parents Fund is an annual drive for unrestricted gifts from parents of alumnae/i and current students. It assists students each and every day by opening doors to scholarships, expanding international opportunities, and supporting other core college programs.  Click here to learn more about the Parent's Fund.
