GALESBURG — The Sandburg Foundation invites community members, alumni, businesses and organizations to show their support for student success on Giving Tuesday, which takes place Dec. 2.
Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity that occurs each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. The Sandburg Foundation’s goal during this year’s Giving Tuesday campaign is to raise $350,000 before Dec. 15.
The Sandburg Foundation supports student success by distributing hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to Sandburg students through scholarships, assistance grants, innovation grants and more.
“No matter the size of your contribution, your support removes barriers for every student at Sandburg,” Vice President of Advancement Eric Johnson said. “Those who donate this Giving Tuesday will directly impact and improve people’s lives, and it’s also a chance to build the future of our region. These donations have a strong economic impact on our district. When you support Sandburg, you’re investing in the success of someone, their family and those around us.”
Donors can give to their passion by choosing what area or department their contribution goes to, or they can have it used where Sandburg needs it most. Popular designations for donations include the foundation’s unrestricted fund, scholarships/financial aid, student success grants and athletics.
You can donate to the Sandburg Foundation’s Giving Tuesday campaign on its GiveCampus page, or by contacting the foundation at 309.341.5349 or foundation@sandburg.edu. To learn more, visit sandburg.edu/givingtuesday.
