Fund for Potsdam

The Fund for Potsdam – Annual Gifts That Truly Benefit Our Students

The Fund for Potsdam is all gifts to our students' greatest needs. Your gifts go right to the heart of Potsdam. They help ensure that students have continued access to scholarships and research experiences. They give Potsdam flexibility on behalf of our students, allowing the College not to rely on waning government support. 

Annual donors remained very loyal and supportive in 2008-2009, a truly unique year! Thank you!

The 2009-2010 goal for your gifts made online, through Phonathon and through mail is $430,503. Make your annual gift today!

Ways that we reach out and you can give back:

  • Annual Scholarship Golf Classic: Join us September 10, 2009
  • Phonathon: Say hello to today's students and catch up on what's happening in Potsdam!
  • Annual mail and e-mail appeals: you'll hear from us twice a year. Your support is truly needed and makes a difference for our students.
  • Emerging Leaders: Today's students, tomorrow's alumni!
  • Reunion Committees and Class Gifts: Generating excitement, showing class pride and honoring memories!
  • Gary '77 and Debbie (Diefendorf) '75 Hind will match your online gift this year! If you make your first-ever gift this year, make it online and it's $50 or more, the Hinds will match your gift up to $100 per household. If you have already been a donor, give online this year and increase by $50 or more over your most recent annual amount, the Hinds will match your increase up to $100 per household. Only online gifts will be matched! Donate now!
