"First published in fall 2018, Beacon magazine is produced by the Boston College Office of University Advancement to highlight the university's significant philanthropic commitments, priorities, and initiatives. With 4,800 copies printed and distributed to donors at the $1M+ level, as well as key prospects and volunteer leaders, the semi-annual publication showcases the institution's very best examples of the transformational impacts made possible thanks to the generosity of the Boston College community. Initially conceived as a vehicle to steward top donors, the magazine has evolved to be more inclusive of donors at various levels and as a tool for fundraisers to use in their gift conversations.
The complementary website (beacon.bc.edu) includes exclusive digital content (videos, interactives, stories). Approximately 28,000 alumni, parents, donors, and friends at various giving levels receive Beacon emails pointing to the website.
Stories from each issue and the accompanying website have inspired giving at all levels."
