<strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> alumni participation matters!<br />
Step forward. Give back.<br />
<strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> students benefit everyday from the generosity <strong>of</strong> alumni and friends.<br />
Annual gifts provide hundreds <strong>of</strong> scholarships to students who may not have the capacity to afford<br />
a <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> education, fund student service trips, enhance campus safety, maintain facilities<br />
and ensure continued institutional growth and vitality. Support to the <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> Fund also has<br />
expanded academic, athletic and fine arts programs at the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
All annual gifts are crucial to <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong>, but those from alumni have added importance.<br />
Why is <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> alumni participation so important?<br />
• The term alumni participation, when used in higher education, specifically means the<br />
percentage <strong>of</strong> alumni who make an annual financial gift to their alma mater.<br />
• U.S. News & World Report considers alumni participation to be a strong indicator <strong>of</strong> student<br />
satisfaction with their educational experience, and the publication uses alumni participation as<br />
a key metric in its annual rankings <strong>of</strong> colleges and universities. Foundations and corporations<br />
also gauge alumni participation when deliberating grants. Their rationale is “if alumni do not<br />
support a college or university, why should we?”<br />
• For participation rankings, it’s not the dollar amount that matters, but rather the number <strong>of</strong><br />
alumni who give at any level. Gifts <strong>of</strong> any size — $25, $250, or $2,500 — equally impact these<br />
rankings.<br />
• Although national rankings and recognition increase the value <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> degree,<br />
the bottom line is that alumni gifts sustain <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> <strong>University</strong>. Collectively, the many<br />
annual, individual gifts enable us to provide much needed scholarships, services, programs and<br />
upgraded facilities for our current students.<br />
Give back so others may step forward:<br />
• Give safely and easily online at www.mtmercy.edu/give.<br />
• Simply mail a check payable to the <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> Fund, <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> <strong>University</strong>, 1330<br />
Elmhurst Drive NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52402.<br />
• Contact a <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> representative at giving@mtmercy.edu to arrange a personal<br />
appointment and campus tour and discover how you can make a difference in <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong>’s<br />
continued success!<br />
