I give out of loyalty

“I give to Grady College out of loyalty to my alma mater, and with the knowledge that alumni financial support goes beyond just the dollars—colleges that can show that a high percentage of their alums are donors (even at small amounts) have better chances for receiving grants and other large foundation support.”

It's a way to give a hand up to those behind us

“Those who richly received should in turn ensure the well doesn’t go dry for the next generation,” said Henry Woodall of their decision to donate to Grady College. “As I now walk beneath the high canopy of North Campus, I focus on helping to preserve the spirit of Grady in a manner that will inform the present and lead to the future.   We hope that our supporting opportunities for students to engage learning beyond the classroom will establish a pathway for a lifetime of learning.”
