Frequently Asked Questions

Does my gift really matter?

Your gift, of any size, does matter. Our alumni participation rate is one of the criteria used when national rankings for colleges and universities are listed, such as those in U.S. News and World Report. Raising the ranking of your alma mater is crucial to attracting top-notch students and faculty. Your contribution increases our alumni participation rate, which is also a key consideration of corporate and foundation grant makers when considering their support of ONU.
