FINANCIAL
This information is derived from Piedmont University’s June 30, 2021, audited financial statements.
Fueled by improving pandemic and economic conditions, Piedmont University’s revenue increased by $5 million compared with the previous fiscal year. The university’s administration continues to successfully identify opportunities for operational efficiencies. Their efforts resulted in a $5 million reduction in expenses compared to the previous fiscal year.
PHILANTHROPY
Total giving increased year-overyear, from $2.2 million in 2020 to $2.25 million in 2021, reflecting a higher level of baseline giving from Piedmont supporters.
The lower overall giving in the most recent two years (relative to 2018-2019 levels) was due to the successful conclusion of the fundraising campaigns for the Conservatory of Music and Sewell Center for Teacher Education, as well as the resumption of an annual “core” giving campaign at the beginning of 2020.
Current fundraising efforts are centered on increasing alumni participation and building the inaugural class of the Yonahian Society — Piedmont’s most esteemed group of donors, who each make an annual gift of $1,000 or more. Inaugural Yonahian Society membership has ballooned to 216, currently. This intimate and growing family of supporters will be celebrated with a gala in the spring.
With regard to alumni giving, Piedmont hit a new record in 2021, with more than 539 alumni donors
contributing to their alma mater. This reflects a 33 percent increase over the prior year and is a substantial stride toward Piedmont’s goal of 1,000 annual alumni donors.
ENROLLMENT
Even amid the ongoing pandemic and nationwide enrollment declines, Piedmont enrolled 249 first-year students this fall, matching the previous year’s enrollment.
The Class of 2025 arrived at Piedmont well-positioned for academic success during their college years. Members of this class have an average high school GPA of 3.54. Their average SAT score is 1110, and the average ACT score is 22.9, both of which are above national averages. In addition, 25 percent of the new students enrolled with dual enrollment and AP credits.
Piedmont continues to attract an increasingly diverse student body. Just under 10 percent of the Class of 2025 is Hispanic, up from 5.2 percent in 2020. Piedmont expects this trend will continue as the Hispanic population grows in northern and central Georgia, areas where Piedmont draws many of its students.
However, the diversification of Piedmont’s student body is not solely due to regional demographic trends. The Class of 2025 represents 19 states and countries including Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Germany, Greece, Honduras, India, Jamaica, and Peru.
To continue reaching and engaging prospective students from around the world, Piedmont staff members attended virtual and in-person recruitment events, including college fairs, paraprofessional

information sessions, and remote classroom visits; conducted oncampus admissions events, tours, and virtual visits; and utilized numerous social media platforms.
Additional enrollment highlights for fall 2021 include:
• Total undergraduate enrollment is 1,238.
• Total graduate enrollment is 871.
• Total enrollment at the Demorest campus is 1,127 (undergraduate and graduate).
• Total enrollment at the Athens campus is 349 (undergraduate and graduate).
• Piedmont’s undergraduate residential population now stands at 722.
A new facility for the Athens campus and construction of the largest residential facility on the Demorest campus maintain a 25-year trend of notable campus improvements. Solid enrollments, prudent fiscal management, and continued philanthropic growth, coupled with significant increases in student retention, bode well for the university as it enters its 125th year.
