We are grateful to everyone in the Class of ’74 who supported Smith during this past year. Your gifts continue to make a meaningful difference for today’s students and reflect our ongoing commitment to our alma mater.

As we move into FY27 and a new school year, we hope you will consider making a gift to one of the funds our class has continued to highlight: the Class of 1974 Endowed Scholarship Fund, the Emergency Fund for Students of Color, and The Smith Fund.

Of particular note, the Class of 1974 Endowed Scholarship Fund continues to grow. As of the end of FY 26, we have raised $855,950 for this fund since its establishment, plus $200,000 in matching gifts, bringing the total to over $1 million–$1,055,950, not including future planned gifts.

You can make your gift online through the college’s Giving to Smith page, or through the college’s mailings or your Donor-Advised Fund. However you choose to give, please include your name and address, Class of 74, and your gift designation. Every gift, no matter the size, is appreciated. Thank you for your generosity, loyalty, and enduring connection to Smith.
