Mount Holyoke Fund
Cornerstone Program
Leadership Giving
The new Cornerstone Program effective FY 06/07 recognizes
alumnae, parents, and friends who make leadership
gifts of $1,837 or more annually to the Mount Holyoke
College Mount Holyoke Fund (15th reunion or higher). For
younger alumnae, options begin at $100.
This represents an increase in the entry point for
leadership giving, although it marks the first in the
program’s 40-year history. Mount Holyoke counts
on gifts to the Mount Holyoke Fund to cover approximately
10 percent of its annual operating budget, a standard
percentage among our peers.
