Day of Giving

One Day. One Purpose. One Lander.

EXCELLENCE "GREATEST NEEDS" FUND GENERAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND BEARCAT ATHLETICS

Lander University is participating in Giving Tuesday with a 24-hour fundraising campaign. Gifts made to the University on the annual global day of giving — this year on Nov. 28 — can lead to a better future for our students, campus community and beyond.

Created in 2012, Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It puts a philanthropic spin on the retail rush of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Each year, Giving Tuesday highlights the power of people coming together to make a positive difference in our communities and the world.

We encourage our alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff and friends to consider Lander when participating in Giving Tuesday this year. Together as #OneLander, we can fund scholarships for deserving students, support Bearcat athletic teams, and invest in initiatives that build a better future for our students, South Carolina, and our global community.

   Gifts to the Excellence Fund make possible some of the university’s most pressing initiatives. This can include faculty research, student programs, campus learning spaces, emergency relief, and more. When you give a Greatest Needs gift, you can feel good knowing it’s accomplishing something powerful. Wherever the need is most urgent, your donation provides immediate support.
