Annual Giving Q & A
Q. What is the Capital Fund?
A. The Capital Fund is the unrestricted portion of the annual giving programs at Capital. The fund consists exclusively of flexible funds generated by alumni and friends of the university. Capital Fund donors support every aspect of the university's mission, from scholarships and facility and equipment enhancements to computer technology and student research programs. When you make a gift to the Capital Fund you benefit nearly 4,000 students.
Q. Why is my gift to the Annual Fund important?
A. Gifts to the Capital Fund help to bridge the gap between the total cost of a Capital education and the amount students pay in tuition. Contributions to the Capital Fund help shape the vision and future of the university by providing for scholarships, academic and student programming, technology acquisitions and enhancements, and other needs to keep the campus running smoothly and efficiently.
Q. How much should I contribute?
A. The amount of your contribution is totally your decision. But, we hope that all alumni and friends of Capital will participate in our annual fund on a yearly basis at a level consistent with their ability to give. Every gift, regardless of size, is greatly appreciated.
Q. Is my gift to the Capital Fund tax deductible?
A. Yes. All gifts to Capital University are deductible for federal income tax purposes to the extent allowed by law.
