explained Jeff."Many even give their gifts via our
electronic funds transfer program, Maxim. 250 alumni
are involved in The Torch Club, 20 are in Charter Society,
90 in President's Associates, and two in the Chairman's
Council. My goal is to double alumni involvement in the
next two years."
"The annual fund is a great way to invest in students,
for it bridges the gap between what each student pays
and what it truly costs Cedarville to provide an education.
This year the gap stands at S520 for each student. All
Helping Cedarville
College: Helping
Yourself
You expect your gifts to help us achieve our
goal—offering an education consistent with biblical
truth. But do you expect your gifts to help you
achieve your own goals? Well, you should. We
certainly do. In fact, we have hired experienced
personnel to help you accomplish the following
through charitable giving:
•Prepare for retirement and your
children's college expenses
•Turn assets into income
•Honor the memory of a loved
one by helping needy students
•Reduce capital gain, estate, and
income taxes
•Provide income for family
members after your death
You have demonstrated your commitment to
Cedarville College. Allow us to return that
commitment by showing you how to use your
resources to secure your financial, personal, and
charitable goals.

club gifts help cover this gap, but someone involved
particularly at the Charter Society level or higher is
covering the entire gap for one or more students
directly," continued Jeff. "While we offer some benefits
to those involved in the giving programs, those do not
seem to be huge motivations. Helping students is."

More Alumni Responding
to College Giving
Programs
In the 1999-2000 year, alumni are supporting the
giving programs of the annual fund in record numbers,
helping outpace all past alumni giving to the annual
fund. These giving programs include the Torch Club,
Charter Society, President's Associates, and Chairman's
Council. Already, more than 350 alumni are among the
1,100 individuals involved in these programs.
"In the last two years, alumni have made up the
majority of new members involved in these giving clubs.
Even young alumni are finding it a very consistent way
to be involved in Cedarville," shared Jeff Brock '84, who
oversees the annual fund of the College. "In fact, last
year, when we began the Chairman's Council program, an
alum was the first to join."
Each program encourages an annual commitment to
be paid however it is convenient for the alumnus."The
Torch Club is set up to encourage gifts of S10 each
month, and the others are set up as annual gifts to be
paid in whatever time frame is most convenient,"
The Giving Programs
of the Annual Fund
Torch Club:$10 per month
Charter Society:$42 per month
President's Associates:$84 per month
Chairman's Council:$417 per month
