Why Give? You are a part of Hollins’ success.

One of the things Hollins does best is instill in her students the belief that they can do anything. More than anything else, a Hollins education offers students the chance to transform and change, both themselves and the world around them. From sub-Saharan Africa to suburban U.S.A., Hollins women are making the world a better place.

Your gift to Hollins has a direct impact on students' abilities to learn and experiment, grow, and thrive.

Alumnae participation by giving counts in college rankings.

• The higher the alumnae participation rate, the higher the indication that alumnae are satisfied with the education they received. For this reason, alumnae who believe their small gifts won't count — especially in an environment where millions are being raised — are wrong. Every gift counts and is a vote for Hollins' commitment to single-sex education.
