Are you ready to give back to Gonzaga? Do you want to ensure other students have the same opportunity to experience the transformational qualities found in GU’s Jesuit traditions? Then now is the perfect time to join or renew your commitment to the Young Alumni President’s Council (YAPC).
The YAPC is the young alumni giving society, and as a graduate of the last decade, you have the opportunity to become a member of this influential group. Gifts and involvement from young alumni leaders, including those in the YAPC, help Gonzaga preserve its stature as one of the top Jesuit institutions in the country.
Involvement in groups like the YAPC also help Gonzaga maintain its commitment to providing access to Jesuit education to deserving students, regardless of their financial situation. Many GU students receive some form of financial aid, and that type of assistance is only made possible through private support of dedicated alumni, parents and friends of the University.
Becoming a member of Gonzaga’s influential donor family is easy. YAPC members join at tiered gift levels that correspond to their graduation year. To find your year, consult the table below.
You might even consider a recurring monthly gift, which can make a larger gift more palatable and joining the YAPC even easier. For example, if you graduated in 2006 and wanted to make your $500 gift, you could do so for around $41 per month. This option is available by utilizing Gonzaga’s online form, which is secure and confidential. Gifts may be made via credit card or electronic check.
Additionally, find out if your company will match your gift and double your contribution to Gonzaga. Many companies fulfill philanthropic initiatives by matching gifts made to non-profits by their employees. Gifts matched by your employer are applied to your contribution, making this an easy way to reach your YAPC giving level each year.
Some of the benefits of being a YAPC member include a 10 percent discount at the Zag Shop, invites to regional events and recognition in special publications such Gonzaga’s annual Report of the President and Honor Roll of Donors.
