			Scholarships Freeman Asian Scholars Program Fund For Excellence Professorships and Academic Programs Facilities Wesleyan Annual Fund Wesleyan Annual Fund - $44 million The real value of the Wesleyan Annual Fund (WAF) becomes clear when calculated in endowment dollars. We would need $120 million in new endowment right away to generate $6 million in interest income-the amount we raised in annual fund dollars in 1999-2000. On a personal scale, imagine your current WAF gift of $100 representing $2,000 in endowment, or a gift of $5,000 representing $100,000. Wesleyan Annual Fund gifts, so crucial and immediate, always support faculty, students, and facilities-the key elements in Wesleyan's distinction. This lifeline of yearly support, WAF, is made up of gifts of all sizes. We would like to raise the bar for the Wesleyan Annual Fund in the years ahead. Increased unrestricted dollars will support key needs in the annual operating budget and will relieve some of the pressure on endowment. We are aiming for a 50 percent increase in dollars to WAF by the conclusion of the Wesleyan Campaign in 2004. In five years' time, from 1994 to 1999, we were able to increase participation in WAF from 37 percent to 50 percent. Clearly, our dollar goal is achievable. We ask all alumni, parents, and friends to make increased gifts to the Wesleyan Annual Fund the building block of your investment in Wesleyan's future.
