While our long-term goal is to secure ongoing program funding through the Commonwealth’s annual budget, PGSS Campaign has proudly sustained Program funding through the commitment of its community, enrolling up to 72 students each year for more than a decade.

To continue offering this life-changing experience to students this summer, we rely on the enduring generosity of our alumni community to help fund at least half of the Program’s annual operating costs.  This year, we’re aiming to raise $300,000 through the Alumni Challenge—enough to send 72 talented students to the 2026 Program. Every gift helps open doors for the next generation of Govies to explore, learn, and lead.

The most important goal for our alumni is to participate in the Annual Alumni Challenge (AAC) by making a gift in support of the 2026 Program.  Together, we can meet all three of our fundraising goals: participation, encouraging those who gave last year to give again this year, and a specific dollar amount for each class.  If the first two goals are met, reaching the dollar goal will be a breeze!

Strengthen Our Govie Community

Your class's participation goal is 20% (11 of 52 alumni)
Reaching this level of engagement helps to show our strength and unity as a community. It also demonstrates alumni devotion to the Program to our corporate sponsors, foundation and educational partners, and members of the Commonwealth’s leadership / legislature.

Keep the Momentum Going

We’re challenging 70% of your class's 2024 donors to make a gift again this year!
Continued giving keeps our mission strong and fuels the lasting tradition of alumni support that makes the PGSS Program thrive year after year.

Fund the Future

We are confident that your class can raise $8,000 and equally as important, we want everyone to participate.  Every gift adds up and helps us show how much alumni care about keeping PGSS strong for future classes. Thank you for being a part of it!
