A Bright Future Requires a Bold Challenge Today

The renovation of Agnes Scott “Main” Hall and the growth of The Fund for Agnes Scott are vital to the college’s ability to provide a premier educational experience. Recognizing these needs, Board of Trustees Chair Elizabeth “Beth” Daniel Holder ’82 has issued a $1 million fundraising challenge to alumnae, faculty, staff, students, parents and friends.

How it works:

In order for Agnes Scott to continue to attract the best and brightest students, the college must be able to provide a living and learning environment that allows them to grow, thrive and reach their full potential. The restoration of Main Hall gives us that opportunity. Additionally, your gift is needed for The Fund for Agnes Scott, which provides scholarships for our students and supports day-to-day operations. Agnes Scott must sustain a strong annual fund, and only your gifts make that possible.

Alumnae, faculty, staff, students, parents and friends are challenged to give to both the Campaign for Main and The Fund for Agnes Scott through the Holder Challenge (i.e., $1,000 total gift with $500 for Main Hall and $500 for The Fund for Agnes Scott) by June 2021. If $1 million is raised for Main Hall through the Holder Challenge by June 2021, Holder will give an additional $1 million to the renovation.

The renovation of Main Hall serves as a symbol of the future and the infinite possibility of what is next. But we must not forget the needs of today supported by The Fund for Agnes Scott. Help us rise to the occasion and answer both calls.

“Agnes Scott needs us, and everyone can participate in a meaningful way. I have never met a Scottie who would back away from a challenge, and I know from experience that there is nothing that we cannot achieve together,” says Holder.
