All gifts, whether one-time or monthly, are welcome. Whether it's Rs 50, or Rs 50,000 - either outcome is very significant. Both levels indicate the same thing - there exists an alumnus who has signalled a seriousness of intent to envision a bright future for SPS. As a result of this support, one becomes more engaged. A Rs 50 donation by an alumnus increases the participation rate for giving (total or for his batch) by the same amount as a Rs 50,000 gift would. We hope the participation rates for each batch and for the alumni as a whole will steadily rise in the months and years to come.
Why Give at All?
- Give back for your alma mater that has contributed to making you who you are
- Enhance reputation and social impact of SPS and its alumni network
- It feels good to become a part of something bigger than ourselves, especially since it is linked to our own history
- We can do something about improving the quality and relevance of education
- Even a Rs 50 gift means that one more alumnus is participating in building the future of SPS
