Unrestricted gifts from undergraduate and graduate alumni, parents, and friends help provide the “margin of excellence” that makes a Princeton education second to none.  Annual Giving sustains and enhances the University’s distinctive academic programs and brings together Princetonians of all generations.

“I Give Because”: Annual Giving moves #ForwardTogether to keep Princeton thriving

The Annual Giving campaign, “Forward Together,” celebrates the individual reasons alumni give and recognizes the collective impact of giving. 

Forward Together with Annual Giving

Each of us has our own Princeton story, and there are many inspiring reasons for supporting Princeton through Annual Giving.

Whether you give because you are funding your experience forward, want to support financial aid and faculty recruitment, know that each generation stands on the shoulders of the one before ... or because of a reason completely unique to you ... through Annual Giving, all Princetonians move Forward Together.
