Dickinson Invites College Community to Celebrate Giving Tuesday
Dickinsonians invited to celebrate global philanthropy day with gifts supporting the college
Dickinson invites alumni, parents, faculty, staff and students to celebrate Giving Tuesday by making a gift to the college on Dec. 1. To encourage Dickinsonians to participate in this global celebration of philanthropy, the college is aiming to raise $50,000 for the Emergency Response Fund, scholarships and the Dickinson Fund.
Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 by several nonprofit leaders as a way to highlight the power of philanthropy and kick off the season of giving. Since then, it has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity.
“This is an important day to support the causes you value most,” says Elizabeth Woods Meikrantz ’95, director of the Dickinson Fund and class giving. “We are hopeful that Dickinsonians around the world will come together to support our alma mater and our amazing students and faculty.”
