Rux-Burton Associates form alliance with Trinity

As part of the activities involved in the 2008 Annual Giving Program, Trinity formed a strategic alliance with Rux-Burton Associates, one of the UK's leading consultants in educational fundraising and alumni relations.  Drawing on their years of experience working with the Oxbridge colleges – and many other universities and schools around the country – Trinity has ambitiously set forth to exceed the wonderful result of $400,000 raised from Annual Giving in 2007.

The 2008 campaign involved 20 selected students who called approximately 700 alumni, friends and current parents to gain information from them about their current contact details, their activities, and also their engagement with Trinity at all levels. As part of the call, the students also asked for financial support for the 2008 Annual Giving Campaign, the primary focus of which is the greening of the College, the revival of the Bulpadock and the refurbishment of the Vatican Lawn and gardens.

This effort has resulted in over $105,000 in pledges toward the 2008 Annual Giving Campaign.  We plan to raise the remainder of the goal through our traditional letter writing campaign. We thank everyone who has been involved and look forward to a splendid result to help the College this year in its immediate goals.
