Annual Giving Matching Program for Recent Graduates and Current Students

Multiply the impact of your annual gift with the Atwell Match!

Thanks to a generous unrestricted bequest from Susanna Atwell, '37, MA '38, the university is able to offer the Atwell Match—a giving program designed to encourage annual giving from all our recent graduates and current students.

With the Atwell Match, your gift directs more money to the annual fund of your choice. Here's how it works:

Outright gifts will be matched 50¢ on the dollar. Multi-year pledges, including recurring gifts charged to a credit card every month for a minimum of twelve months, are matched dollar for dollar. You may give to more than one annual fund, since each gift or pledge qualifies for the match. (Matching funds are capped at $1,000 per gift.)

Please take advantage of this generous matching program to make an even greater difference for new generations of deserving students.

Stanford's annual funds include:

The Stanford Fund for Undergraduate Education
The Business School Fund
The Earth Sciences Fund
The School of Education Fund
The Engineering Fund
The Humanities and Sciences Graduate Fund
The Medical Fund
The Law Fund
The Buck/Cardinal Fund for Athletics

Susanna Atwell, MD

Susanna Atwell graduated from Stanford with a BA in 1937 and an MA in 1938, both in psychology. She received her MD in 1942 from the University of California, San Francisco.

A long-time resident of San Francisco, Dr. Atwell made annual gifts to The Stanford Fund for many years. In 1985, she endowed a scholarship in memory of her friend, Margaret C. Barr. The Margaret C. Barr Cap and Gown Scholarship was created for "deserving undergraduate women students. A preference shall be given to those female students who participate in sports, either individually or as a part of an organized activity."

At her death in 2006, Dr. Atwell left a generous unrestricted bequest to Stanford. To honor her legacy of loyal giving, the university has created the Atwell Match.
