Lehigh University:

Q: Why should I give back to Lehigh?
A: From Lehigh's earliest history to the present day, the generosity of alumni, parents and friends has been vitally important, supporting what is already excellent about the university and contributing to new initiatives that expand our impact on higher education and our service to the nation and the world. Gifts have an impact on every aspect of our academic mission, our research programs and our campus life.

Q: What is the Lehigh Fund and who can contribute?
A: The Lehigh Fund is Lehigh’s annual giving program. The Lehigh Fund receives annual contributions made by Lehigh's alumni, parents, friends, corporations, and foundations. Funds raised are vital to current needs not met through endowment or other long-range support. The Lehigh Fund finances scholarships, facility renovations, lab equipment, and various operating costs.

Q: Where do the majority of Lehigh Fund dollars go?
A: More than 50% of Lehigh Fund gifts go toward non-endowed scholarship aid, which enables Lehigh to attract the brightest young minds in the nation and makes it possible for them to experience Lehigh-regardless of their ability to pay.

Q: Why are unrestricted gifts important?
A: Unrestricted gifts are those made without a particular designation by the donor. 
An unrestricted Lehigh Fund gift is the most important gift an alumnus can make because…
• It gives Lehigh flexibility to address the university's greatest current needs.
• It allows Lehigh to respond quickly to challenges and opportunities.
