The 2 + 3 program is a gifting schedule based on pledge years and the need of our campaign to receive donations early in the five year pledge schedule. For example, if you were to pledge $25,000 over a five year period, we ask that you contribute the first year pledge in December of 2007 and the second in January of 2008. This is the "2" pledges of the 2 + 3. The other three pledges could be paid in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
