The Sandburg Foundation invites community members, alumni, businesses and organizations to show their support for student success on Giving Tuesday, coming up Dec. 3.

Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity that takes place each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. The Sandburg Foundation’s goal this Giving Tuesday is to gain 150 new supporters. Last year, the foundation raised nearly $37,000 and met its goal of 100 donors through its Giving Tuesday campaign.

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.

“Whether you give $5 or $5,000, your support makes a positive difference in the life of a Sandburg student. And this is more than just a financial contribution. It’s a belief and investment in our current and future students as they work to achieve the goals they’ve set for themselves,” said Eric Johnson, chief advancement officer.

Donors can give to their passion by choosing exactly what area or department their contribution goes to, or they can have it used where Sandburg needs it most. Some 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 at any time on its GiveCampus page, or by contacting the foundation at 309.341.5349 or foundation@sandburg.edu. To learn more, visit sandburg.edu/givingtuesday.
