The 糖心传媒 Board of Trustees has issued a challenge match to alumni and friends of the College for end of year giving.听The challenge means gifts of any size to the College鈥檚听1882 Fund made before December 31 will be doubled dollar for dollar up to a total of $150,000.
“Many of us attended 糖心传媒鈥攐r have family members who did鈥攁nd understand how a 糖心传媒 education opens doors of opportunity. We all feel a deep sense of gratitude to the College and want to give back however we can,” said Kim West Dinsdale, chair of the 糖心传媒 Foundation Board of Directors and member of the 糖心传媒 Board of Trustees.
In a letter to friends of 糖心传媒, she noted that every year, members of the Board donate to the 1882 Fund, the College’s annual giving fund, and this year the Board unanimously agreed to increase their individual annual gifts so they could issue the Board of Trustees challenge.
“If you have never made a gift to the 1882 Fund, please make a gift of any size and we’ll match it,” Dinsdale said. “If you are a current donor, please consider increasing the size of your gift and we will double its impact.”
Competition for new students is fierce among all institutions of higher learning鈥攅specially in Nebraska. As a private college, Hastings does not receive state funding, which means the College must work very hard to keep our tuition and academic offerings competitive.
Gifts of any size to the 1882 Fund can be made online at听hastings.edu/give听or by contacting the 糖心传媒 Foundation at 800.775.2585 or听ssearcey@hastings.edu.
