Lets talk about money, lots and lots of money. Brigham Young University is a large world class educational institution. It is expensive to run and needs the support of Alums and friends to help develop new programs and make it possible for many students to receive necessary scholarships . A recent edition of Humanities at BYU explained how these donations, even small ones, make, can help make a huge difference.
"In the last issue of Humanities at BYU, Dean Rosenberg asked each person who receives this magazine to contribute $3.69, that person's share of a goal of raising $100,000 to increase internships and make them more affordable to students. . . . To date we have over $4,400 (4 percent of our goal) but, as you can see, the number of respondents is so low it hardly registers on the graph, above. We need many, many more of you to respond in order for us to reach our goal. Oftentimes when we apply for grants from corporations and foundation, they want to know about alumni contributions--not the amount of money, but the percentage of alumni participating. A high participation rate indicates that our alumni valued their experiences here and want to ensure that others have the same opportunities."
