Annual Fund Update<\/h1>\n

With only six months left to reach the Annual Fund Vision 20|20 goals and the Alfond Challenge, time is of the essence.<\/h2>\n

The Vision 20|20 countdown to June 30, 2020 has us looking at our new calendars. We have 167 days to receive 729 contributions in order to meet the Annual Fund Vision 20|20 goals and the Alfond Challenge. When we reach that goal, we will receive $750,000 toward scholarships for MMA students.<\/p>\n

As of December 31, we had received 751 contributions from alumni for 2019 (a 10.15%\u00a0participation rate) for a total of $460,080.00. This leaves us with 729 left to go in order to achieve the 20% participation rate goal for Vision 20|20, which was set through the Alfond Foundation Challenge.\u00a0 To move the participation needle just 1%, it takes 74 alumni to participate.<\/p>\n

Only the 2020 alumni participation rate will be used by the Alfond Foundation<\/u>.\u00a0 By comparison, in 2019, we were at 9.62 at the end of January; in 2018 we were at 6.7%.<\/p>\n
