During the 2023-24 fiscal year, faculty and staff gave more than $380,000 to support Elon students
The Elon University community gathered for a reception in Snow Family Grand Atrium on Thursday, May 9, to celebrate the collective philanthropy of Elon’s faculty and staff with food, friends and fellowship. More than 930 Elon employees have made a gift to be counted as donors during the current fiscal year, which ends May 31, leading to an overall faculty/staff giving rate of 60 percent. Together, their gifts total more than $380,000 in financial support for designations across campus.
“Your philanthropic donation to Elon makes a difference, said President Connie Ledoux Book during the event. “It creates opportunity, opens doors, and allows students to find their sense of purpose.”
For the current fiscal year, Wendy Fogleman, Sandra Reid ’85 and Patrick Rudd served as Faculty/Staff Giving co-chairs. In addition, 38 employees stepped up as captains for giving efforts across campus. Reid shared her gratitude for the support of all faculty/staff donors when she addressed attendees at the event.
“Your contributions directly enhance student experiences, support vital research initiatives, and help maintain academic excellence,” Reid said. “We want to thank everyone in this room for giving to Elon and continuing to make this such a unique place to work, learn and grow.”
Faculty and staff who would like to be counted as donors for the current fiscal year can make their gift of any size, to any campus fund, until May 31.
