Black Friday and Cyber Monday – days to get things – are etched in our calendars. But is GivingTuesday? It’s a global movement of generosity – a day to give – Tuesday, December 2. No matter what holiday you celebrate, it’s a way to kick off the Season of Giving by making a gift to your favorite non-profit.

By making a gift to the Spoon River College Foundation, you can be a part of that movement while making a huge difference locally, as your gift will directly benefit the students of Spoon River College.

Here, we call GivingTuesday… #GivingSPOONday.

This year, our goal is 300 separate gifts to the SRC Foundation by the end of #GivingSPOONday, December 2. Whether you give $1, $1000, or anything in between or beyond, you make a difference in students’ lives and in reaching our goal!

Last year, nearly 15 percent of our annual revenue came from donors giving to our #GivingSPOONday campaign. Imagine what taking that away would mean to students who need your support!

YOU CHOOSE How You Help Students Succeed…

Your gift can support anything you want at SRC. You can direct your gift for any scholarship, program, or facility at SRC.

But we especially encourage and appreciate gifts to our annual fund so that the SRC Foundation can quickly provide in the areas of greatest need at SRC. During these turbulent times, the ability to be flexible and timely with the funds we can offer is critical!

In the end, all gifts are important and appreciated, and you make a huge impact, no matter what you give or where it goes.

EVERY Gift Makes a Difference!

Think your gift won’t matter? Think again.

Here’s what your gift could mean:

• $5: An art palette for an SRC art student
• $15: A training stethoscope for a future nurse
• $25: An hour of teaching for 10 students in our Adult Education classes
• $50: A new uniform for a Snapper student-athlete
• $75: A student’s membership fee into Phi Theta Kappa to recognize their academic achievement
• $100: A graphing calculator for a student to use in the Russell Learning Resource Center
• $200: A student’s full tuition and fees for one credit hour
• $250: A bag of seed for our Agriculture Department’s Land Lab
• $500: A faculty grant to bring new, innovative ideas to the classroom
• $1000: A new classroom projector a bench at one of our beautiful facilities

Even a gift of $1 could buy a meal for a student through the Student Needs Center, our campus food and supply pantry. And it still counts toward the goal.

That’s the best thing about #GivingSPOONday. It doesn’t matter what you give; it only matters that you give. No matter what you can give today, you still make an enormous impact.
