The Williamson Fund
The Williamson Fund refers to of all fund raising efforts conducted by Williamson in the course of its fiscal year (July 1 – June 30). Alumni, friends and corporations are contacted each year via direct mail, telephone and the internet for gifts. In most cases these gifts are given unrestricted (to be used where needed most) and are expended in the current fiscal year. Proceeds from the Williamson Fund provide 40% of the college’s operating budget each year.
If you have any additional questions about the Williamson Fund, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement.
Williamson is blessed with an endowment that covers about 60% of what it costs to operate each year. The gap is bridged with annual support from alumni, friends, and corporations. A large portion of the annual budget is comprised of projected contributions. Current expenses do not include those needed for capital improvements or non-budgeted maintenance.
Williamson accepts MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express to pay for gifts. If you wish, you can enter your credit card number on the giving envelope you receive in the mail. Or, you can take advantage of our online option. This is far more efficient and puts your money to work for Williamson faster.
