Seniors, Make Your Mark!
The Senior Class Impact Project is a meaningful way for Pomona seniors like you to give back to the Sagehen community to support both current and future students and faculty.
You can choose where your gift goes — from scholarships and student resources like technology and wellness to academic programs and student life experiences such as study away and internships.
Every gift, no matter the size, helps strengthen the Pomona experience for generations to come. Let’s Chirp it forward together!
Senior Class Impact Project Myths
I'm already giving enough money to Pomona through tuition.
Even students paying full tuition only pay about two-thirds of the actual cost of a Pomona education. The rest is made up from income from the endowment and other grants, including the Senior Class Impact Project.
Pomona’s endowment is large enough to support its students.
The endowment consists mostly of restricted funds that have been allocated to support a particular area of need or a specific purpose. The Annual Fund generates approximately $5 million each year that help meet Pomona's immediate needs. Annual Fund gifts support academic instruction, student services, financial aid and student support.
One person’s participation doesn't matter.
All participation matters! It enhances Pomona's outstanding reputation and increases the value of your degree among peers and colleagues once you’ve graduated.
Participation is the most important part of our Senior Class Impact Project. We want support to come from as many of our classmates as possible. Whatever amount you can contribute will be a step toward our goal!
How much are you asking for?
A gift of any amount is appreciated.
Where will my gift be invested?
Donations to the Senior Class Impact Project are not invested and go directly to support student resources.
The Senior Class Impact Project Committee
Each year, a new Senior Class Impact Project Committee forms to lead the class's project to support resources, programs and organizations on campus that are important to students by fundraising amongst the senior class.
Past committees have chosen to support the Queer Resource Center (QRC), academic departments, Sagehen Athletics, the Draper Center for Community Partnerships, the Pomona College Internship Program (PCIP), student scholarships and other designated giving areas.
