Class Gift Officer

Connecticut College's Class Gift Officers boost alumni giving in partnership with CC Fund staff.

Class Gift Officers (CGOs) have a very specific job of reaching out to classmates to help increase alumni giving participation in the CC Fund. CGOs are passionate about Conn and keep alumni connected by creating a sense of community among classmates. 

Why Volunteer?

Class Gift Officers are crucial to the success of the Connecticut College Fund and help increase overall participation and dollars to the College. Alumni are three times more likely to donate when asked to do so by a peer. By encouraging classmates to give, you share experiences, successes and why you choose to give. Your influence helps create opportunities for Conn students today and into the future.
