Momentum

Dear [fname],

As we build on the momentum of our most ambitious and successful fundraising campaign in our university’s history — I am immensely proud of the extraordinary generosity of our community. Your combined support is making a tangible difference. 

In our 2026 issue of Momentum, I invite you to meet fellow donors, as well as the Concordians whose lives and work are enriched by philanthropy.

Thank you for believing in what we can achieve together.

Happy reading and have a great summer!
