Make a pledge to help prepare students to engage culture with the Gospel!
The most successful fundraising campaign in Cedarville University’s 137-year history, One Thousand Days Transformed: The Campaign for Cedarville, just received a $15 million gift from donors who expressed their passion for the mission of the institution while requesting their gift remain anonymous. The $15 million gift is one of the largest gifts received during the campaign.
The generous donors gave toward the final facility planned as part of the One Thousand Days Transformed campaign — a new $35 million Academic Center. The grand domed, all-brick, three-story Center will provide classroom, collaboration, and office spaces for the outstanding faculty and programs that make up Cedarville’s academic core, including history and government; English, literature, and modern languages; psychology; education; and social work. This final campaign facility will be constructed on the eastern edge of campus off State Route 72.
Gifts to the One Thousand Days Transformed campaign are supporting four key priorities:
- Expanding capacity through the addition of new campus facilities
- Maximizing affordability and minimizing student debt through scholarships
- Enhancing the student experience
- Providing long-term sustainability for the University
With the exception of new facilities, the other three priority goals have already been achieved, with gifts from mission-focused donors continuing to be received, propelling the campaign past the $175 million goal.
However, the final milestone in the campaign, completing the facilities goal, will be the construction of the new Academic Center. This $15 million gift brings the remaining need to approximately $5 million.
