Priority Point Calculation - Revamp for 2012
- Starting in 2012, bonus points (0.012) will be awarded for additional dollars to the annual fund above the previous year's annual gift.
- Example: Donor paid $300 in 2011 and pays $360 in 2012. They will receive bonus points (0.012) for the additional $60 donation that was made.
- Donors will be able to receive points for consecutive years in the following manner:
| Years 1-5 |
1 point |
| Years 6-10 |
2 points |
| Years 11-20 |
3 points |
| Years 21-30 |
4 points |
| Years 31-40 |

7 points |
| Years 61-70 |

| Years 71-80 |

- Example: Donor with 20 consecutive years would receive 22 points and in the new system (beginning in 2012) would receive 45 points.
- Donors may "buy back" years where they missed giving an annual donation with the following stipulations:
- Donors are allowed to "buy back" a maximum of 3 years. (one time opportunity)
- They must contribute the annual amount at which they last donated prior to the year they missed.
