To further broaden leadership support for Purdue, President Córdova is offering a special, limited matching gift opportunity to bring new members to the President's Council, the University's leadership giving society. The President's Challenge is designed to help interested donors move immediately into the President's Council while incrementally increasing their giving.

Here's how it works: We ask that you make a three-year pledge of at least $500 in 2004, $750 in 2005, and $1,000 in 2006. The President will provide matching gifts of $500 in 2004 and $250 in 2005 when you make your pledge payments. The combination of your gift and the President's matching funds will qualify you for membership in the President's Council in each of the three years.

Your gift can be designated to support the programs or areas that matter most to you and the matching gifts from the President will be directed there as well. Everyone benefits. You become a President's Council member as soon as you make your three-year pledge. Your contributions mean the programs that matter most to you will receive even greater support.

Every gift to Purdue is important, but the impact of your President's Council-level gift is particularly vital in moving the University forward. Please take advantage of this special opportunity, and exercise your leadership for Purdue.
