Dear DP Alumni Community,
September is here and at the DP that means first editions are out and we are in the midst of recruiting the next generation of DPers. We have planned for an impactful year ahead and we cannot do it without your philanthropic support!
Each year, your gift to the DP Advances annual campaign is a vote of confidence in our work and a key component in keeping the DP financially healthy. Looking ahead, we know that through your support, we will be able to continue producing incredible journalism and meaningful experiences for all types of students at Penn!
A few priorities and initiatives that your gifts will directly support this upcoming semester:
- Expansive coverage of Penn’s new President, M. Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Magill
- 34st Street’s RELAUNCH: A new look and monthly print magazine with the same great Street content!
- DP Sports’ QuakerNation Brand Expansion: More in-depth and on the field and court coverage
- Hosting our annual Marquez Conference: A place for students to learn from and network with DP alums of all backgrounds
- A new home for the DP: The official public launch of our capital campaign for the purchasing of a new building
Let’s be honest… we couldn’t do it without you. We launched our Development department in early 2020 and you have helped to establish a true culture of philanthropy at the DP; increasing our annual giving revenue by 215% percent and allowing our organization to provide over $400,000 directly to students through scholarships, stipends, awards, prizes and more.
We continue to carry on your legacy. We take what each class and board leaves with genuine care. Making you proud with the DP’s current direction and content and proud to be a DP Alum, is a serious target we take aim at everyday.
The DP is ready to embark on our biggest year yet! Your continued generosity and partnership remains the key driver in our organization’s ability to make student dreams a reality. The opportunity is now here.
Thank you for your consideration.
Warmly,
Alessandra Pintado-Urbanc
President, 138th Board
