Board of Trustees to Match Selected Gifts through Alumni Annual Giving Challenge


The GW Board of Trustees has issued a special alumni annual giving challenge for the next two years. When you make a gift to support GW, the Board will double, and in some cases triple, the amount of your gift!

Here’s how the challenge works:

  • First-time donors to the University will have their gifts matched. For example, a gift of $25 becomes $50; a gift of $200 becomes $400.
  • First-time members of the Luther Rice Society (those making a minimum gift of $1,000 for the first time or alumni who graduated within the last 5 years and give $250 for the first time) will have their gifts matched 1:1; a $1,000 gift becomes a $2,000 gift.
  • All donors who make gifts in their Reunion Years, regardless of giving history, will have their gifts tripled; your $100 gift will become a $300 gift! Your $50 gift becomes $150!

With free money for GW on the table, there’s no better time than right now to make your tax-deductible gift. If you have any questions about the Board of Trustees Challenge Match, e-mail giving@gwu.edu or call 202-994-9487.
