Giving to Reed

Annual Fund Volunteers

Annual giving at Reed College is a concerted group effort. Without each and every gift from alumni, parents, and friends, critical support for today’s students and faculty would be in jeopardy. Because of this, we are integrating three new volunteer roles into the Annual Fund program, building on the foundations that have already been established in the programs for reunion giving and parent giving. Like you, our volunteers believe in the importance and uniqueness of a Reed education, and it is their hope and mission to communicate that belief to you—their classmates, friends, and acquaintances—in their own words.

Annual Fund Chairperson—works as a liaison between the college and the entire alumni body, helping to solicit Griffin-level ($1,000+) gifts, providing critical feedback to staff, and facilitating alumni input on Annual Fund programs.

Recent Alumni Representative—works to communicate the Annual Fund’s mission and goals to alumni who have graduated within the past six years to maximize participation and giving.

1911 Society Chairperson—represents donors who make annual gifts to Reed College in the $1,911–4,999 range, helping to solicit and steward gifts from current society members, as well as encouraging upgrades, and recruiting new members who have the capacity and desire to give.

Parent Council Chairperson—presides over the Reed Parent Council and hosts the Parent Council luncheon during Parent and Family Weekend. As an advocate for strong parent philanthropy, the chair is asked to set a leadership example by supporting the college at the Anna Mann level ($10,000 and above).

Reunion Gift Chair—builds support from their classmates for the Reed College Annual Fund during their reunion year. Chairs pledge their increased support early in the fiscal year and solicit gifts from classmates using a variety of tools.

The development of these positions is an exciting step for Reed’s Annual Fund and we hope to continue to develop volunteer opportunities in the future. If you are interested in serving as a volunteer, or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at (877) 865-1469 or email us at annual-fund@reed.edu.
