Alumni Giving is a critical component of the Annual Fund, Capital Giving and Planned Giving. The Annual Fund provides unrestricted dollars to the School's operating budget.  There are special leadership gift categories for alumni including the Young Alumni Society for those within 15 years of graduation.  The overall giving categories follow:

Founder - $50,000 and above                       Special Alumni Categories of Giving
Headmaster - $25,000-49,999                    Bruin's Alumni Society - $1,000 and above
Ivy - $15,000 - $24,999                               Young Alumni Society - $250 and above
Master - $10,000-$14,999                                           
Patron - $7,500-$9,999
Benefactor - $5,000-$7,499
Leadership - $2,500-$4,999

For more information about the Annual Fund click on the Annual Fund tab above.  For alumni, reunion years provide a special opportunity for alumni support of Brunswick beyond participation in the Annual Fund. Reunion class agents work with the Alumni Office to identify a special Reunion gift for the School - one that would be meaningful to their particular class.  

Capital giving initiatives provide funds for projects such as renovations, the purchase of additional land, the construction of new facilities or to add to the endowment. Alumni are considered a major factor in capital giving.  To read information about Capital Giving, click on the Capital Giving tab above.

Planned giving , the third prong in the giving picture, is particularly alumni friendly and an alum does not have to be wealthy to make a significant planned gift to Brunswick. A planned gift can provide tax advantages to the donor, while enabling him to make a major gift to the School that might not otherwise be possible. Planned gifts can increase cash flow during the donor's lifetime, lock in gains on appreciated securities and avoid capital gains taxes.

A few thoughts on planned giving:
·  You can give a gift that costs you nothing now.
·  If it comes down to Uncle Sam or Brunswick, where would you like your IRA to go?
·  You can give a gift to Brunswick and earn income for life.
·  You don’t have to use cash to make your gift.
