The Nazareth Annual Fund is an important source of flexible revenue that provides immediate support to all aspects of the student experience from student financial aid and campus life to experiential learning and curricular development.  

Alumni participation rate is one of the seven factors considered by U.S. News & World Report when evaluating and ranking colleges and universities. Nazareth’s rankings affects its reputation, which can impact enrollment and the value of a Nazareth degree. 

High levels of alumni participation can also influence funding from corporations and foundations who want to invest in successful organizations that others are supporting too.
