Clutch contributors

Strong finish for Giving Day 2023

Once again, Carthaginians came through in the clutch. Thanks to a late surge in contributions, Carthage exceeded its primary goal for the eighth annual Red & Ready Giving Day with monetary gifts from more than 760 donors. The 24-hour fundraising sprint took place March 30.

The large online fundraiser is held each spring to rally a broad base of support. By surpassing the 750-donor target for 2023, the #redandready community unlocked an additional $250,000 “challenge gift” from the Board of Trustees.

Lead donors issue giving challenges to support segments of the Carthage experience that shape the lives of students. Scholarships were the biggest winners among this year’s challenges, with significant funding also designated for operations, mental health services, textbooks, equity and inclusion programming, academic divisions, and study abroad. Successful mini-challenges elicited matching gifts from alumni, faculty, trustees, and friends of the College.

As an extra incentive to give, Carthaginians had the option to secure temporary naming rights for campus spaces and equipment. Available options ranged from the obscure (speed bumps, drinking fountains, and red Adirondack chairs) to the familiar (Office of Admissions and Kissing Rock).

The College also participates in Giving Tuesday, a nationwide fundraiser that takes place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Carthage’s giving goals for that fall virtual event (Nov. 28 this year) focus on more specific projects.

To amplify your support, consider sponsoring a challenge with a commitment of $1,000 or more for the 2023 Giving Tuesday or the 2024 Red & Ready Giving Day. For details, please contact Heather Zima ’18 in the Office of Advancement at hzima@carthage.edu or 262-551-5747.
