At College of Saint Mary, our mission is evident in the everyday moments. Since our doors opened in 1923, alumnae like you have built and sustained the University through donations to the CSM Fund. The CSM Fund isn’t about big, new projects. Instead, it’s about steadfast support for CSM’s #1 priority – our students. Gifts from our alumnae, family, community, and friends transform the lives of CSM students each day.

As we begin this academic year, please take a moment to consider giving to the 2011-2012 CSM Fund. Your donation will truly make a difference in the lives of our students. Your support of the CSM Fund will allow CSM’s academic excellence to thrive and its students to bloom into leaders prepared to serve their families, their professions, and their communities.

As an alum...• Your gift can help us reach our goal! Alumnae support ensures our ability to reach this year’s budgeted goal of $720,000. The CSM Fund helps to keep our quality education accessible and affordable.

• Your support makes a difference in our ability to secure external funds! CSM submits about 30 grants each year. We are asked to report our percentage of alumnae participation which indicates the value placed on our mission by those closest to us.

• Your support plays a key role in CSM’s enrollment efforts! Robust alumnae support demonstrates that the quality of education received at CSM is important. These rankings are reviewed by prospective students when making their college decision.

Since very little good can be accomplished without money, we must look after it in small as well as in great matters.
