FC Religious Life

April is a BIG month for Franklin College. On April 14, the college will hold its ninth annual Give to Griz campaign, with a goal of raising $175,000 from 1,000 donors in just 24 hours. The goal? To support the college's impactful Franklin Fund, which supports our students with critical scholarships and dozens of other campus needs, from grounds keeping to learning opportunities. Give to Griz is just one example of how philanthropy can make a huge difference in community, and why we should consider how to spend our extra dollars for good. To learn more about this concept, Chaplain Hannah interviews Vice President for Alumni Relations and Development Dana Cummings and Assistant Vice President for Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving Lee Ann Jourdan. Together, they explore how fundraising helps others and what motivates them in their work today. After that you'll hear from Assistant Director of Annual Giving and Special Projects Andrea Gash about Give to Griz and how you can get involved.

Ready to jump in and support Give to Griz? Consider donating online. You can also register for some fun virtual events here. If you're a student, be sure to pick up your Give to Griz passport starting April 12 to thank a donor, share your Franklin College story, and possibly earn some swag.
