Hi Cortney,

Hope you're having a great Friday! Do you or anyone at the GSC know anything about this event? I have been passed a rumor that alumni can specify donations to the Internship Fund and that their respective matches will also be passed to the Internship Fund, but I wanted to confirm if this is true and I can't seem to hunt anyone down that knows.

Thanks,

Aeriel

Boston University Development & Alumni Relations What can you and nearly 400,000 of your closest BU friends do in a single day? The answer is: a lot. Especially on April 30, because for 24 hours your impact will be doubled. On this one day, several dedicated BU alumni have offered to match gifts up to $1,000, dollar for dollar. So on Giving Day, even small gifts can have a huge collective impact! With every act of giving, BU’s success grows. With every donation, BU becomes more accessible for a deserving student; one more research project gets funded; one more person gets the materials she needs to get closer to her academic dreams. So let’s see what we can do as a community in 24 hours. Mark the date—4/30/14—and get ready to build a better BU (in a day)!

If the giving form for the online giving day is a variation of the generic donation form, there is a dropdown menu for "designation."  As far as I can tell, the Internship Fund is not one of the pre-populated options but there is a write-in option.
