Manchester University had its most successful Giving Tuesday ever.
On Dec. 1, it raised more than $75,100, coming from nearly 190 gifts.
Last year, Manchester’s Giving Tuesday raised $2,257 with 24 gifts.
The 2020 effort focused on extraordinary challenges Manchester students are facing due to COVID-19. The pandemic has affected how and where they learn, how they interact with each other and with faculty, even how they walk in and out of buildings. More students than ever are worried about the financial impact COVID-19 has had on their families and how they will afford their college education. Manchester asked donors to make a difference for them.
Janeen Kooi, director of The Manchester Fund and donor relations, offers her thanks to donors and those on the Giving Tuesday team. The goal for the day was $10,000.
