Advancement Services and Annual Giving

Advancement Services plays a vital role in supporting the College of Charleston’s fundraising and engagement efforts. We ensure the ethical management of alumni and donor information and provide the data and systems that power the work of Institutional Advancement.

Annual Giving fuels the College with flexible, immediate-use funds that make a difference every year. From scholarships and undergraduate research to faculty support and academic programs, annual gifts strengthen every corner of campus and help raise the College’s margin of excellence.

Every gift—every year—makes an impact.

Alumni Affairs

The College’s nearly 95,000 alumni are served by a staff of five full-time professionals who administer the Alumni Association. All former students who earned credit toward a degree at the College are members in good standing of the Alumni Association. The Association’s mission is “to manifest interest in, and to promote the welfare of the College.” Its strategic plan is to engage alumni to stay informed, get involved, and give back. Staff members direct communications, organize programs and events, coordinate with our CofC Clubs around the world, provide career services, administer member benefits, and keep alumni contact information updated. Should you need assistance, please contact [email protected] or 843-953-5630.
