On Wednesday, March 26, Concordia University will host its fifth annual day of giving to benefit the university’s Mequon campus.
Titled “March MATCHness,” the 24-hour initiative invites the entire Concordia University Wisconsin community—students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents, and friends—to come together to advance the Concordia mission and to make a huge impact in the lives of students.
Here are six specific ways you can plan to help participate on Wednesday, March 26.
1. Give … and it is magnified!
We’re not calling the celebration March MATCHness for nothing! To make things more exciting, we have a series of challenges that will magnify your gift with a matching amount. Thanks to generous Concordia supporters, your gift can be magnified through the match challenges!
2. Give to the Concordia Fund
When you give on March 26, you will be able to support the Concordia Fund, which is our greatest need! Tuition only covers a portion of the actual cost to educate each student. The Concordia Fund was established to offset the remaining expenses, allowing us to offer Concordia’s students the increased quality and experience they deserve, without placing a greater burden on them. Donations to the Concordia Fund support the day-to-day operations of the university, provide scholarship support, and enhance the student experience. This is our GREATEST need.
3. Give for the first time
If you have never given to Concordia before, this is the time! Perhaps you’ve only recently graduated or just never considered making a donation. No matter the size of your gift, if it’s $1 or $20, your gift will make an impact.
4. Give your family and friends a heads up
Encourage your friends and family to participate, too, on March 26. Send them this link and ask them to mark their calendars! Every dollar matters. Every dollar is magnified.
5. Give your excitement
We’re spreading the word about March MATCHness and so can you! Join the conversation and help us build momentum by using the hashtag #givingdayCUW in your social media posts.
We have an entire social media kit available for you to use with pictures and proposed text on the March MATCHness Website!
6. Give your prayers
The purpose of March MATCHness is to have fun and celebrate Concordia. Bigger than that, we are raising support for our mission of developing students in mind, body, and spirit for service to Christ in the Church and the world. Your gifts help us make a difference in the lives of our uncommon students. And, most importantly, we appreciate your prayers for our students, faculty, staff and university.
