Our Crowdfunding Groups
It was wonderful to see everyone who attended the 45th reunion of the Class of 1979 in October. What fun! We’re grateful to the members of the Reunion Committee and the University who made the weekend so special. We look forward to celebrating our 50th reunion with you in the fall of 2029. Thank you for your financial support to Wittenberg!
We’re delighted to share that a few anonymous classmates, who are grateful for their Wittenberg education, are stepping forward to give $12,000 to our Class of 1979 Scholarship - Endowed Fund as a matching challenge. Gifts made since reunion weekend to the Class of 1979 Scholarship - Endowed Fund will be matched up to $12,000.
Your gift, no matter the size, will have twice the impact. Please consider donating and letting the challenge grant double the size of your gift. No gift is too small. All gifts matter and are important. Together, let’s unlock the challenge and see if we can leave Wittenberg an endowed scholarship of $79,000 from the Class of 1979.
Why It Matters
Wittenberg graduates lead by example, strengthening communities and serving the public good. Our alumni can be there for others because Wittenberg was there for them. Reunion giving is rooted in the tradition of passing our light for decades to come.
How We Can Make A Difference
Gifts supporting any fund at the institution help propel Wittenberg forward. Specifically, unrestricted gifts to The Wittenberg Fund support the area of greatest need on campus and directly impact each of our students on a daily basis.
Why Right Now
Reunion giving is an opportunity for all Class of 1979 alumni to give back to Wittenberg University through philanthropic support. The challenges facing Wittenberg and all of higher education are significant. Now is our moment to ensure an exceptional educational experience for current students, and financial stability and sustainability for years to come.
Additional Giving Opportunities
Reunion giving is calculated from July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025.
