VISION
Educating leaders, scholars, and practitioners for a more just and sustainable world.
LETTER FROM PRESIDENT & BOARD CHAIR Warm greetings from Fielding Graduate University! We are excited to share with you this report highlighting the impact of your generous giving to Fielding. In it, you will find information regarding donor-funded scholarships and programs, hear from scholarship recipients, and learn how your support of Fielding has made a substantial contribution to the achievement of its mission and vision. Tuition alone does not provide for a robust academic learning environment. Thanks to your generosity, Fielding did not increase tuition this year and continued to provide student scholarships, fund faculty and student research, and support the university’s development and innovation processes. This advanced the university’s broader mission in an uncertain time in the world. You continue to make a huge difference in the life of Fielding and its students, faculty and staff ! Thank you sincerely. Best wishes,
Katrina S. Rogers, PhD President
Karen Smith Bogart, PhD 2013 HOD alum & Board Chair

HELP SUSTAIN FIELDING WITH A PLANNED GIFT A planned gift is a charitable donation arranged during a donor’s lifetime, to be made available to Fielding at a later date. These vitally important contributions to the Founders Circle help sustain Fielding into the future. Founders Circle gifts are most often bequests made in a will or trust. Some planned gifts, such as a charitable remainder trust, allow donors to receive current tax benefits and an income for life.
Planned gifts are flexible:
• Alter your plans at any time • Structure your gift in various ways: specific amount, piece of property, or percentage of your estate • Retain control over assets you may need
Consult with your estate advisor about what is most beneficial for you and your portfolio of assets. Often, a planned gift to Fielding greatly reduce the tax implications of passing assets on to your heirs.
Founders Circle Benefits
• Free annual publication such as Fielding University Press monographs. • Personal meetings with updates from members of the University Leadership Team • Invitations to Fielding special events • Recognition in university publications such as the Fielding Impact Report and FOCUS Magazine, among others
