Give Back to MA. Rise to the Challenge. Pass it on!

We value gifts of all sizes as we strive for high levels of participation from ALL alumni. Alumni gifts to The Challenge will support Annual Giving. During this inaugural year of The Challenge, alumni may choose to designate all or a portion of their gift to endowment. Endowment gifts and multi-year pledges must be received by June 30, 2008 to be matched. Monies from the match itself will be applied to endowment each and every year, ensuring that your gift to MA lives on.
