Faculty and staff are clearly committed to the well-being of our students, whose success is the reason Meredith College exists. Your participation in faculty and staff annual giving and the belief in the academics and people at Meredith are what the Be One in a Million initiative is all about!

 

Responses to our most recent faculty and staff survey about giving to Meredith

• Greater than 90% agree with the need to secure a significant number of annual gifts for the success of the institution.
• Almost 80% have a good understanding of how annual gifts support the College.
• Only 45% agree it is important that faculty and staff make annual gifts to Meredith.

Participation Matters!
Faculty and staff giving participation can go a long way when receiving corporate and foundation support. You are showing that belief in Meredith College begins at “home.” Every gift, no matter the amount, is important to the future of this unique campus. Annual giving grows and becomes even more successful when everyone participates. When we give to Meredith, we are supporting the students and one another.

 

May I specify where my gift goes?  Absolutely!
Simply note your preference on the gift form. Your gift directly benefits the fund(s) you choose.

• An unrestricted gift to The Meredith Fund and/or
• A restricted gift to a scholarship, your own department, or other area on campus.

**58% of employee gifts are designated to The Meredith Fund. The Meredith Fund is an unrestricted fund that provides support to all operational budgets and directly affects the quality of our students’ educational experience.

Have you considered payroll deduction? You can set up your monthly deduction for a specified or indefinite amount of time. A small amount each month enables you to make a larger gift for the year. You may also donate by cash, check, credit card or electronic funds transfer. Click here to visit the faculty and staff giving webpage for more details about how you can make your gift.

 

Thank you for considering a gift this year and
joining your colleagues in the Be One in a Million initiative!
