Annual Funds - Restricted

Are you especially passionate about a certain department, student organization, or program at Mount Union?  Do you want your gift to support a particular program?  You are welcome to give directly to an area on campus by making a designated annual gift.  Each department or program will use the funds as needed.

 

Participation Matters

Agencies such as US News and World Report utilize giving statistics in their rankings each year. Additionally, many private foundations and corporations look at how many people give, rather than the amount of each gift, when determining whether to make large contributions to Mount Union. Your donation of any amount may help spur larger gifts to the University.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference in the lives and educational experiences of our students.
