Set for Oct. 22 through 23 from noon to noon, this year’s Day of Giving aims to build on and exceed the successes of past events.Leading the charge on these efforts is Lisa Colletti-Jones, FNU's Director of Annual Giving and Courier Programs. Colletti-Jones said Day of Giving was established to focus on a 24-hour period to celebrate the community and focus on the diverse needs of the university.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0RTVEp_0w9a6Ln300" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0RTVEp_0w9a6Ln300" width="1024" height="303" ></figure>Last year's Day of Giving raised an impressive $73,442 from 129 donors. This year, FNU aims to increase that amount to $75,000 with the support of 150 donors.This year, FNU is striving to secure at least one donor from every state, which Colletti-Jones said is an achievable goal given FNU’s network of students, alumni, faculty, preceptors and staff.“This is a creative way to get our community involved and a fun way to reach some of our goals,” she said.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=27t3RC_0w9a6Ln300" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=27t3RC_0w9a6Ln300" width="913" height="355" ></figure>Donors can support FNU in various ways, including donor-advised funds, annual fund donations, stock gifts, and planned giving. During Day of Giving, donors can choose how to designate their contributions, with options such as the FNU Scholarship Fund; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives; the Courier Program; the Alumni Fund and more. This flexibility allows donors to align their gifts with their personal interests and values.“Having a variety of funds to support allows for our donors to make a gift that resonates with them,” Colletti-Jones said. “For example, they could be a former scholarship winner, and they want to give back to that particular scholarship, or they are really interested in making an impact wherever Frontier Nursing University sees fit. Allowing someone to choose their place of support gives them a chance to create a unique giving experience that is special to them.”<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=48EsBh_0w9a6Ln300" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=48EsBh_0w9a6Ln300" width="913" height="500" ></figure>Colletti-Jones said she hopes this year's Day of Giving will not only raise essential funds for FNU initiatives, but also act as a celebration of the university and the achievements of its faculty, staff, students, and donors.“We know at Frontier that it takes a lot to pursue an advanced degree,” she said. “Some of the most meaningful messages we get are from those that have received one of our scholarships or benefited from one of our programs. These messages offer hope and encouragement. They help strengthen our giving program to show that it is important to give back, to allow others like themselves to experience an education like no other.”To learn more about Day of Giving and to donate, visit frontier.edu/day-of-giving.
