very campaign is an investment in the future. Yet during the campaign, excellence must continue to permeate Denison for the benefit of students today. To make this possible, gifts to the Annual Fund must remain a top priority. Tuition covers only 55 percent of the real cost of a Denison education. The rest is covered by endowment income and Annual Fund gifts.
 
Unlike endowment gifts, which are invested for the long-term, unrestricted annual gifts can be used immediately – wherever they are needed the most. These essential, flexible gifts bridge the gap between tuition income and the true cost of a high-quality college education. Just as importantly, they provide the funding for special classroom, independent study and extracurricular programs; for enhancing student life on our beautiful, vibrant campus; and for giving students unique opportunities that make the difference between a good education and one that is truly extraordinary.
 
More Denison graduates and families are making larger annual gifts than ever before. This trend must continue – the Annual Fund, a vital part of the campaign, must continue to grow. By accelerating the momentum of annual giving during the campaign, we can ensure that students tomorrow and today will receive the richest possible educational experience.
