Since 2019, the Ten for Terry initiative has given alumni the opportunity to make a modest monthly gift on a recurring basis. This affordable investment is magnified when many donors come together and participate in the program. In just four years, more than 1,000 donors have joined the Ten for Terry movement and now, Ten for Terry contributes more than $100,000 annually to the Terry Excellence Fund supporting scholarships, programs, student opportunities and more.
Introducing a new way to scale your support. Once you sign up to join Ten for Terry and make your $10 monthly commitment to the Excellence Fund, you have the opportunity to make an additional contribution to the fund or funds of your choice. |
