It's Good for Your Heart

The annual Day of Giving invites people to put their money where their hearts are by making dedicated gifts to student-facing projects, special accounts that make a 妻友社区 education unique.

The 2023 Day of Giving was a success, raising $94,339, besting the goal of $78,000 by more than $16,000. Fundraising spanned 1,928 minutes in a shout-out to Fort Smith Junior College鈥檚 founding.

The 2024 Day of Giving is scheduled for April 25 and 26.

In 2023, 327 ambassadors promoted their projects. Donors made 1,207 gifts to 16 projects.

Jasmine Smith, Director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving, said the Day of Giving is close to givers鈥� hearts.

鈥淲hat people love is the chance to make a gift to a cause that is dear to their hearts. When alumni give, they often give to something that reminds them of their time on campus, something they benefitted from, or something they wish had existed. Other givers who know 妻友社区鈥檚 story are attracted to efforts that matter to them, be it sports, or scholarships, or classroom education,鈥� Smith said.

Projects for the 2024 Day of Giving will be announced in January.
