Nazareth Faculty and Staff Challenge

FACT: The higher the percentage of faculty and staff members who donate to their college or university employer, the higher the chances many foundation and government funding sources will award grant money to that institution, too. THE FACULTY/STAFF CHALLENGE is on! Let’s increase our faculty and staff giving and show outside funders Naz is worth their investment, too. A gift of any amount counts. When 350 faculty or staff make a gift today we will unlock $5,000 from generous staff donors here at Nazareth.
