Giving Day Goes Live In
Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 30th as Rhodes State hosts its first ever Giving Day! Join us for a 24-hour celebration of our community's generosity!
What is Giving Day?
Giving Day is a 24-hour fundraising effort that aims to unite alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and students toward a common goal.
What Will My Gift Accomplish?
The 2023 Giving Day goal is to fully endow the new Parenting Scholarship. Your gift will support students who are pregnant, parenting, or in the adoptive process. $10,000 will fully fund the Parenting Scholarship and allow for it to be endowed, making it available for years to come. Click HERE to learn more about the Parenting Scholarship.
RSVP for a complimentary Lee's Famous Chicken lunch @ 12:00pm, Thursday, 3/30!
If you would like to give toward a different scholarship, please call 419-995-8044.
Can You Give Me Another Reason to Give?
We CAN! The Rhodes State College Board of Trustees, Foundation Board of Directors and President's Cabinet understand that the journeys of our students can be extremely challenging and want to lead the giving effort. That is why they have offered to match your gift! Rhodes State leaders will match every gift you give up to $5000! That means your gift is doubled, and your impact is multiplied by 2 when you click "Give Now!"
How Can I Tell Others?
We're glad you asked! Below you will find downloadable graphics and videos for your social media accounts/email and copy & paste messaging to share.
