Judson College has received nearly $1 million of the $5 million in pledges needed to remain open this fall.
As of March 17, alumnae and friends of Judson have made commitments totaling $861,805 to support Judson in the 2021–2022 fiscal year, which begins on June 1, 2021, and ends on May 31, 2022.
Judson is accepting donations currently through the giving portal found at judson.edu. The college also seeks financial commitments to provide the funds needed to operate the college on a daily basis during the upcoming year.
‘Deeply grateful’
Every dollar given to the Judson College Fund is allocated for specific purposes approved by the Judson College Board of Trustees, including institutional scholarships to students in need, faculty and staff salaries and improvements to campus buildings, according to Judson College President Mark Tew, who expressed appreciation for the support the college has received so far.
“Judson is deeply grateful for the response the college’s friends and supporters have shown during the month of March,” Tew said. “The college has begun receiving both cash gifts and commitments for the coming fiscal year. Any funds received now will be stewarded and will carry over to next year. The main focus of the commitment campaign is to determine the level of support the college can anticipate during its next fiscal year.”
“Think of it as a ‘prove the tithe Sunday’ that has been prevalent in Baptist life through the years,” Tew encouraged.
