Annual Fund Totals 2006 $660,000 2005 $637,000 2004 $666,000* 2003 $521,000* 2002 $607,000 2001 $544,000 2000 $539,000 1999 $508,000 1998 $484,000 1997 $370,000 *2004 totals include $86,000 from an estate. *2002/03 totals were raised in only 11-months due to a Fiscal Year change. Every $100,000 raised in Annual Fund gifts represents the income expended from $2.5 million of endowment principal, given UNE’s desired endowment spending level. The Annual Fund has enjoyed remarkable success the last 5-years in supporting the Universitys budget. What is the Overall Level of Alumni Participation? While the dollars given to the Annual Fund each year are an incredibly important part of the equation, alumni participation is also a vital component of the fund each year. The alumni participation rate for years hovered in the low-10 percent range until recently where it has risen to as high as 21%.
