Parents
During the past several years, annual support from the parents of Mason students has grown tremendously, providing the current operating funds that allow every student to take advantage of the best that Mason has to offer.
Traditionally, our Parent Giving Program has been focused on raising funds for the University Libraries, since all students use library resources. However, parents may designate their gift in the way that is most meaningful to them. In addition to University Libraries, some parents give to the General Scholarship Fund or their child's academic department or school/college. Every student benefits from private support, and Mason parents are doing their part!
Parent Giving Committee
Fundraising volunteers help to increase the impact parents make by joining the Parent Giving Committee. To get involved with the committee, all you need is enthusiasm for Mason and a desire to help with our parent outreach efforts. Committee members get the chance to learn more about their child's alma mater and stay connected in a meaningful way. Members of the Parent Giving Committee:
- Provide input on fundraising efforts geared toward parents.
- Help recognize parent donors by signing thank you letters or making phone calls.
- Support the university and encourage other Mason parents to do the same.
