Naz Giving Day 2023

Mary T. Bush ’51 was a beloved professor emerita of history and political science, and an untiring advocate for Nazareth until her passing in November 2022 at the age of 94. Please join us in celebrating Mary's lifelong legacy during our lunchtime challenge. If 400 gifts are made between noon and 2 p.m. (EST), we will unlock an additional $34,500 from generous donors and friends of Mary.

When 200 parents, grandparents, or family members of Nazareth students – current or past – make a gift on Naz Giving Day, a group of generous Nazareth parents will give an additional $13,000 to the Parents and Families Annual Fund.

Matched! A group of five generous Nazareth trustees were so inspired by the Nazareth community today that they matched your gifts to the Nazareth Annual Fund!

Okay students, it's your turn to shine! Gifts from current Naz students to the Annual Fund or any of Nazareth's highest priorities will unlock $10,000 from a generous Nazareth donor.

Nazareth helped propel you further in your career, so let's help propel future generations of graduate students with our support. Jackie Aab ‘75G, Harvest Gionta ‘00G, A. Scott Hecker '76G, and an anonymous donor will give an additional $27,500 if 150 graduate alumni make a gift today!

An anonymous donor has upped the ante, challenging us to reach a new target of 1,924 gifts by midnight (in honor of our founding year) — and giving another $10,000 when we do.

If 350 current students give today, Marie Baglio '57 will make a gift of $10,000 to our Nazareth Annual Fund – which supports the Student Financial Aid Fund and Student Life Fund.

Thanks to the amazing community Naz Giving Day is off to a great start!!! Your first 150 gifts helped us unlock an additional $90,000 from generous Nazareth trustees. Let's keep the day rolling!

The first $20,000 in support of diversity and inclusive excellence here at Nazareth will be matched by generous supporters. Double your impact and support DEI at Naz today!

In one 24-hour period, you have the ability to fuel the next generation of changemakers, teachers, leaders, healers, entrepreneurs, and innovators. If 250 gifts are given in support of Student Financial Aid, an additional $90,000 will be unlocked. *Gifts to Nazareth Annual Fund and the Student Financial Aid fund count towards this challenge!*

Naz Giving Day is all about welcoming new members to our family of supporters! Kaitlynn and Douglas Jack, plus an anonymous donor, will give $6,500 when 100 donors make their first gift to Nazareth today!

Nazareth trustee Dr. Brian P. Cooper wants to see our SPARK grants shine! If 10 individuals give $1,500 or more (the value of a Nazareth Students Pursuing Academic and Real-world Knowledge Grant) to the Nazareth Annual Fund, we will unlock an additional $15,000 to fund transformative experiential learning here at Naz.

Today is the day, seniors! An anonymous donor will give an additional $5,000 if 150 members of the senior class make a gift. By showing your pride on #NazGivingDay, you help make the Nazareth experience possible for the Golden Flyers who will follow in your footsteps.
