One of COM’s strategic planning goals is to increase philanthropic support to address unfunded needs in the form of scholarships, endowments, academic student support programs and facilities within three years. The College is making remarkable progress on this goal. The total dollar amount of gifts to COM Advancement increased by 66 percent in the first year and by 32 percent in the second year. The total number of donations and donors both increased as well. COM connects with donors through thank you notes from scholarship recipients, eNotes, the President’s Circle, events, and other initiatives. The 1926 Legacy Society has generated $5 million in estate plan commitments. Many thanks to Dr. Linda Frank for leading the charge and to everyone who has contributed.
