Holy Cross Fund

Gifts to the Holy Cross Fund have an immediate impact, supporting the College's highest priorities. This year, donors were given the opportunity to designate their gifts within the Fund, specifically to financial aid or to faculty resources. Alumni participation surpassed 50 percent for the third consecutive year, placing Holy Cross among an elite group of private liberal arts colleges to earn this distinction. Alumni have reason to be proud, and the College community is very grateful for your loyal support.
