Giving Tuesday
On November 29, 2022, people everywhere will come together to tap into the power of human connection in order to strengthen communities and change our world. Will you be one of them? Westminster College will be participating in Giving Tuesday, and we need your help! When you give to Westminster, you are helping current and future generations of Blue Jays to experience all that Westminster has to offer.
Make sure to mark your calendars, and on November 29, give easily through Westminster’s online giving form!
As part of the 2022-2023 Westminster Gives Back campaign, faculty and staff members who make a gift of $25 or more will be eligible to dine with President Lofe, along with four coworkers, on a work day in the Panettiere Dining Room. The drawing for Lunch with Lofe will take place at the Winter Holiday Luncheon on December 19. Additionally, faculty and staff members who give 1% or more of their salary to either the Westminster Fund or the Student Emergency Fund during the current fiscal year will be eligible to join the 1% Club, receiving an additional two days of PTO. Gifts may be pledged through payroll deduction or made through a one-time gift.
Finally, each donor who makes a gift of $100 or more to support the Westminster Fund on Giving Tuesday will receive a pair of Westminster dress socks. Thank you for your consideration of a gift to the Westminster Fund and for helping build a culture of philanthropy at Westminster College. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me at J.R.Andrews@WCMO.edu or 573-592-5327.
