Donating to Garfield’s Future Generations

Garfield Golden Grads know that there are many reasons to belong to our organization. But nothing that we do is more important than the scholarships we award each year to deserving Garfield seniors to help them pay for their college expenses.

GGG is proud to say, “It’s All About the Kids!”

Most of the scholarship funds that GGG collects each year come from:

1) voluntary scholarship contributions made by individual members, and

2) annual income from named endowment funds awarded for specific purposes.

Anyone can donate any amount to the GGG General Scholarship Fund. Some may wish to include GGG in their estate plan through a direct gift or establishment of an endowment. While you should work with an attorney or estate planner in setting up such a legacy, you may also wish to discuss preliminary matters and options with our GGG Treasurer or President.

If you have questions about the GGG General Scholarship Fund and program, contact Scholarship Chair Roberta Najee ’71, Roberta [dot] najee [@] gmail [dot] com.
