Callers Please Note: This information should be used to give donors a better idea of what materials, programs, or opportunities their gifts to The Lawrence Fund might provide, and should not encourage them to restrict their gifts to a particular department and expense. If a donor wants to “buy” a particular item (from this list or not), explain that these examples do not necessarily reflect our current needs, but rather typical expenses and examples of costs. Strongly encourage unrestricted gifts to The Lawrence Fund — we will use the money where we need it the most. Finally, keep in mind that these figures are only estimates given by faculty.
