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. This year’s campaign ends on June 30.
