Annual Fund Donor Report
Annual Fund Gifts Help Build a
Better Tomorrow for GMercyU
and Its Students The Annual Report reflects all donations received by the University during fiscal
year 2017-2018 (July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2018). Contributions received on or after
July 1, 2018 will be acknowledged in the next donor report.
The Annual Fund is one of Gwynedd
Mercy University’s most important
sources of support that can be applied
to an area of essential need, including
student scholarships, operational
expenses and academic programming.
For today’s students, receiving private
support is more critical than ever to
achieving academic and career goals.
Scholarships remain one of the most
significant resources we offer our
students. Last year, Gwynedd Mercy
University awarded $20.9 million in
scholarships, with approximately 99% of
eligible students receiving some type of
institutional aid. Your Annual Fund gift
helps to meet that need and reinforces
our commitment to provide students with
an affordable, high-quality, Catholic
education that upholds the Mercy
mission of service to others.
In addition to student scholarships,
your Annual Fund contributions benefit
the entire Gwynedd Mercy University
community. Campus enhancements over
the past year included creating lab and
classroom spaces in Siena Hall for the
Occupational Science and Occupational
Therapy programs, renovation of the
tiered classroom in the Connelly Faculty
Center, partial replacement of the roof
on Waldron Center, and various updates
in the residence halls.
Every gift, no matter the size, has the
potential to make a difference in the
lives of our students and positively
impact the future of our University.
Thank you for your continued generosity
and support of Gwynedd Mercy
University.
