I think you should explain the endowment in general, benefits, $ contribution amounts etc. People will not contribute to what they don't understand. You mention A&M - I didn't go there I am aware of their funds through good communication to their alums.


This. In the 17 Years since I've graduated, not once has LSU contacted me about donating. Not the alumni association nor the school itself. Perhaps if they let more of us know how to donate, and how the donations will be spent, they'd get a little more cheddar out of us.

They don't have updated contact information. I get called maybe once every six months.

I still remember about 2 weeks after graduation I got a letter in the mail from them. It told me congratulations on graduation which included a return envelope saying "you are officially an alumni, don't forget to donate!"
