Alverno Strong:

This is a five-year, $37 million campaign to transform Alverno College’s future while meeting Milwaukee’s and the world’s most urgent needs at this unprecedented moment. 

Our previous campaign focused on much-needed capital improvements to our campus. This campaign builds upon the pillars of the College’s strategic plan, investing in people and programs in areas that are critical for our region: health care; mental and behavioral health; academic excellence and women’s leadership; K-12 urban education; and adult learning and new initiatives. In addition to expanding high-demand programs, this campaign will grow Alverno’s annual fund, endowed funds and scholarship resources.

This comprehensive campaign includes all gifts made between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2024.

You can support the Alverno Strong campaign in many ways. You can make an immediate gift or create a pledge to be paid over a period of years. Options for giving can including making a cash gift, transferring stock, making a charitable rollover gift through an IRA, and/or establishing a planned gift by including Alverno in your will or as a beneficiary on your insurance policy. To learn about your options, please contact advancement@alverno.edu or call 414-382-6085.

Your investment in endowed chairs, professorships, scholarships and Excellence Funds strengthens Alverno now and in the future. Endowed funds are a powerful tool to help us recruit and retain top faculty and students, elevating our College’s reputation and providing a stable source of funding that allows us to pursue initiatives we might not otherwise be able to afford. Alverno will invest your gift for long-term growth while making 5% of the principal available for annual spending. Options include:

• Endowed chair: Establish with a gift of $3 million or more
• Endowed professorship: Establish with a gift of $1 million or more
• Endowed scholarship: Establish with a gift of $50,000 or more
• Excellence Funds: Support a specific program or department with a gift at any level

Ask if your company has a matching gift program; you may be able to double or even triple your gift. Remember that sharing is caring: Share your support of Alverno Strong on social media and invite friends and family to join you.
