Moving away from scholarships and financial aid, if we were to subtract the $11 million<br />

in financial aid and scholarships from the overall $40 million budget we would be left with<br />

a budget of about $29 million. Of that $29 million, approximately 69 percent is devoted to<br />

faculty and staff salaries and benefits. Thus, a gift to the Annual Fund helps us to support<br />

our outstanding faculty and staff who provide our students with the fantastic education and<br />

support they receive. Consequently, a gift to the Annual Fund supports our most important<br />

asset—our people.<br />

This year, we hope you will once again renew your commitment to our college. As you<br />

consider your gift to <strong>Colby</strong>-<strong>Sawyer</strong>, you may also want to consider designating an Annual<br />

Fund gift for scholarship support, faculty support, or another specific area which you may care<br />

deeply about, such as extracurricular opportunities for students, student travel, distinguished<br />

speakers, the “Courier” (our student newspaper), green initiatives, athletics, or technology.<br />

Whether designated or not, your gift to the Annual Fund will make an immediate and huge<br />

positive difference in our lives and in our students’ lives.<br />

Without your support, we would not have been able to accomplish the many things we<br />

have in the past year. With your future gifts, we will continue to improve and to strive for<br />

excellence in everything we do. Your generous support of the college’s Annual Fund not only<br />

impacts our students, and strengthens our most basic educational mission with an enhanced<br />

academic program, it helps to ensure the future financial flexibility of <strong>Colby</strong>-<strong>Sawyer</strong> to<br />

continue to thrive and be successful.<br />
