Frequently Asked Questions

Seniors Give Back is a Vanderbilt tradition that encourages all seniors to make a gift of any size to their favorite area at Vanderbilt.

The gifts we make as seniors this year-and as alumni in the years to come-help make it possible for future students to enjoy the great Vanderbilt experiences we've had.

That's okay. Every gift counts-it's your participation that matters most. Collectively, lots of smaller gifts add up to make a big impact.

You can make a gift of any amount. Giving $20.24 is one way to commemorate your graduation, but we encourage you to make a gift that is meaningful to you.

Your gift goes wherever you'd like. You can designate your gift to any area of Vanderbilt that has been meaningful to you, such as:

• Experience Vanderbilt
• Opportunity Vanderbilt
• Your favorite student organization
• Your college
• Your department
• The library
• Athletics (the National Commodore Club)

Vanderbilt's endowment provides a permanent source of support for the university's students, faculty, and programs. While current- use gifts support the university's immediate needs, the endowment ensures long-term sustainability.
