DC Annual Fund

The Defiance College Annual Fund bridges the gap between the price of tuition and the actual cost of educating each DC student. Your annual gift helps Defiance College meet its daily needs in the area of scholarships, improvements to and maintenance of campus facilities, support for faculty and curriculum development and technology. When you give, you touch every area of a Defiance College education.

Your participation demonstrates your support for the mission of DC, your appreciation of the College's impact on your life, and your concern for future generations of DC students.

Leadership Giving
The Presidential Circle is the recognition society for donors whose support of the Defiance College Annual Fund opens a world of possibilities for our students with unrestricted gifts of $1,000 or more.  This generosity demonstrates commitment to the college, belief in the value of the DC experiences and support of the dreams and goals of our students. Presidential Circle donors enjoy a closer relationship with the college:

• Invitations to special events and receptions both on and off campus;
• Private briefings with President Gordon prior to Defiance College Alumni network events
• Presidential Circle identification at college events
• Quarterly conference calls with President Gordon providing state of the college news, updates on Board of Trustees meetings, and the opportunity to discuss these issues directly with the president.
