Why Give?

Message from the Faculty-Staff Campaign Chair

Dear Vanderbilt Colleague,

With every gift to the Faculty-Staff Campaign, another life is touched. Vanderbilt students, faculty research, and special programs and initiatives of the university all benefit from our generosity. Given the current economic situation, the need for your support is greater than ever.

You may designate your gift to the Vanderbilt school, program or organization that matters most to you. Rest assured that 100 percent of your gift goes directly to the area designated by you.

It's important to know that even small gifts matter and are greatly appreciated. We truly have strength in numbers. The power of every gift—of every size—is multiplied thousands of times over.

Giving to the Faculty-Staff Campaign is easy and convenient. One choice is payroll deduction which allows you to make a larger gift—and impact—by spreading your payments out over time. You may also make a credit-card gift online.

I’m honored to serve as chairman of this year’s Faculty-Staff Campaign. I hope you’ll join me in supporting this great university and all the important work we do.

Sincerely,


Mark Wait, Dean
