Leadership Annual Giving
Every year the collective impact of Pomona donors ensures access, opportunity and student success in tremendous ways. In the 2022–2023 academic year, alumni, families and friends contributed more than $4.4 million to the Pomona Annual Fund with more than 500 Leadership Annual Giving donors helping lead the way.
Members of our President’s Circle, Family Fellows Circle and Torchbearers Circle are among our most generous contributors, and their gifts make up more than 80% of the Annual Fund each year. This support is crucial to meeting financial aid needs, funding academic programs, experiential learning opportunities, extracurricular engagement and countless resources across the Sagehen community.
