[DEPARTMENT NAME] uses gifts to enhance the experiences of Penn students and the XXX campus community. The purpose of lorem ipsum is to create a natural looking block of text (sentence, paragraph, page, etc.) that doesn’t distract from the layout. A practice not without controversy, laying out pages with meaningless filler text can be very useful when the focus is meant to be on design, not content.
Support for [DEPARTMENT NAME] creates meaningful opportunity for [line relating to department’s mission]

Matching gifts can double or triple the size of a gift and serve as an important source of support. To confirm if you or your spouse/partner are affiliated with a company that matches charitable gifts, visit www.matchinggifts.com/uofpa.
Donors also may demonstrate their commitment by setting up a recurring gift charged by credit card on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Utilizing this method, donors may be able to increase their annual support by breaking up payments to equal a larger gift. To make a recurring gift, please visit our secure online giving page(s) above.

Announcement: The Cultural Resource Centers & The Penn Fund
Effective immediately, unrestricted donations to the Cultural Resource Centers will also be recognized as donations to The Penn Fund. In other words, when you make a gift to a Cultural Resource Center General Fund, your gift will be recognized by The Penn Fund too. By doing so, donations to any Cultural Resource Center General Fund will be included in these University recognitions:
- Benjamin Franklin Society (BFS): Gifts that are received by Penn and gifts made directly to a CRC General Fund will be recognized the same as other Benjamin Franklin Society (BFS) funds using the same levels and criteria for recognition ($2500+).
- Ivy Stone Society (ISS): Gifts made by undergraduate alumni to a CRC General Fund will count the same as other Penn Fund-designated gifts toward Ivy Stone Society (ISS) status. The Ivy Stone Society recognizes Penn undergraduate alumni who make consecutive gifts of any amount to The Penn Fund for three or more fiscal years.
- Reunion Giving: The amount of their gift and the number of alumni donors (one for an individual and two for a couple) will increase the numbers calculated for Total University Achievement for any milestone (quinquennial) reunion class for the year it was received.
- Total University Achievement includes all gifted dollars and alumni donors from each milestone reunion class in the fiscal year of their reunion. These are the two numbers (total amount of dollars and number of alumni class donors) presented to university leadership on Alumni Weekend.
