xii. If you donate to HOFSTRA and request that the money be given to the Q-8 Alumni Operating Fund, then your firm will match your gift (limits may apply). Simply specify Hofstra University/Q-8 Alumni Operating Fund as the recipient.
xiii. The same is true of United Way. If you need assistance please call our Hofstra Alumni Advisor Gwen Wade at (516) 463-6639. Don’t forget that you can also donate to us via the United Way by sending the money to HOFSTRA and designating the Q-8 Alumni Association Operating Fund as your recipient. If your company doesn’t participate suggest they do so by referring them to Click Here.
xiv. The Q-8 AA Hofstra Web Page and the Q8 AA NYS certification as a not for profit can be found at the bottom of the Q8AA homepage on our website www.prq8alumni.com. We have also put together a brochure and a PowerPoint PPS on our website in the donations area to assist you in applying. If you require anything else please don’t hesitate to contact us and ask, but we need you to look into it where you work!
xi. Hofstra Permanent Alumni ID – When you request your permanent Alumni ID through alumni house and pay the $50 donation, you can earmark that money to go to the Q-8 Alumni Association General Operating Fund managed for us by Alumni House. Anytime you donate to Hofstra, you can direct that the money be given to our accounts. So if you donate to any non specific fund, simply write “For Q-8 Alumni Association Operating Fund” and your donation will be available for Q-8 for the work that we do.
