Celebrate the University of Cincinnati’s founding year. Support 1819 and help us rise in the ranks of alumni giving!

Did you know only 11% of UC's alumni gave back to UC during the 2009-10 academic/fiscal year? According to U.S. News & World Report, UC’s record of alumni giving pales in comparison to other universities, ranking 13th among the 16 Big East universities and far behind Xavier, Ohio State, Miami University and the University of Dayton.

Thanks to the commitment of many alumni who answered the 1819 call, UC’s alumni giving rate climbed to 12.5% for the 2010-11 academic/fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. That’s great progress, and to build on it, we need the support of every alum.

So please join your fellow Bearcats to show the world the strength and commitment of UC’s alumni! Your contribution of at least $18.19 puts one step closer to outshining our rivals while further enhancing the value of your own UC degree. Please make your gift today to help UC achieve its goal of 18.19% by July 2015. Together, we are Proudly Cincinnati.
