Q: Can I designate my gift to a specific fund? How?
A: While we hope all donors will make annual unrestricted gifts, you may choose to designate your gift to a specific fund. You may also designate your unrestricted gifts to specific areas within the Annual Fund itself. For example, you may choose to designate your Annual Fund gift to either student scholarships, faculty salaries, curriculum development, facilities and equipment. To do so, please include this information with your gift.

Q: What is the Annual Fund?

Q: How often will I be contacted by the Randolph College Annual Fund?
A: Alumnae, parents and friends are usually contacted two to three times throughout the year through our direct mail campaign and via e-mail. In addition, current students may call you seeking support for the Annual Fund during our Phonathons throughout the year.

Q: Can I donate a horse to the College?
