On Dec. 1, as part of the global \u201cGiving Tuesday\u201d event, Delta State will officially launch a new fundraising program. This new program, called The Centennial Fund, was motivated by a generous gift from the Gertrude C. Ford Foundation.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiving Tuesday\u201d has gained momentum in recent years as a global day dedicated to giving back, and\u00a0people around the world are encouraged to come together for the\u00a0common purpose of giving and celebrating generosity.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Delta State\u2019s Centennial Fund was started by providing\u00a0each of the colleges \u2014Arts and Sciences, Business, and Education \u2014 as well as the School of Nursing, an initial gift of $5,000. Every dollar contributed will be matched with a dollar from the Gertrude Ford Foundation gift \u2014 up to $5,000 for each academic unit. There is also an option of giving to the General Academic Fund, where every penny received goes to support important academic initiatives. You can give online at www.deltastategiving.org\/academics\/centennialfunds<\/a>, and each Dean will receive a notice of every gift received.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Dec. 1, as part of the global \u201cGiving Tuesday\u201d event, Delta State will officially launch a new fundraising program.
