COMMIT TO WITT 2024 HAS ENDED, BUT YOU CAN STILL MAKE AN IMPACT BY CLICKING HERE!
Immediate University Priorities

Together, we will meet this moment, when circumstances demand that we fill the most pressing, most immediate needs of the university.

Why It Matters

Wittenberg graduates lead by example, strengthening communities and serving the public good. Our alumni can be there for others because Wittenberg was there for them. Every gift, regardless of its size, strengthens our legacy of passing our light for decades to come. 

How We Can Make A Difference

Unrestricted gifts to The Wittenberg Fund support the area of greatest need on campus and directly impact each of our students on a daily basis. 

Why Right Now

The challenges facing Wittenberg and all of higher education are significant. Specifically, we face an operational shortfall and cash crunch for the current fiscal year and next. While we have reduced expenses substantially, additional cuts would jeopardize our future plans. We need dedicated champions to help increase support of the immediate University priorities. Now is our moment to ensure an exceptional educational experience for current students, and financial stability and sustainability for years to come.
