Endowed Scholarship Funds Plaques
We recognize and thank the many donors who invest in the future of our students by establishing and making gifts to Endowed Scholarship Funds.
Every gift to these funds is important and helps sustain Anderson University’s mission of educating students for a life of faith and service to the
church and society.
Thank you to our donors of the Endowed Scholarship Funds, Raven Legacy Funds, and the School of Theology and Christian Ministries Raven Legacy Endowed Scholarship Fund.
Raven Champions
When you set up monthly giving, you join a program that saves you paper and is eco-friendly, as you will receive an email confirmation for your gift each month. Your monthly gift, added to the monthly gifts of others, will quickly add up throughout the year to build the necessary resources to help AU students learn and grow as college students and citizens.
As a Raven Champion, you will receive a monthly thank-you email with a Scripture verse, as well as a digital photo album that shows you what your monthly gift is doing on AU’s campus! We hope you’ll enjoy this look into the ways that you are supporting student life at AU—our small way to say thank you each month!
Indiana Tax Credit
Indiana residents save 50% on their state taxes for gifts to AU—a maximum of $200 for couples filing jointly and $100 for single taxpayers. If you itemize deductions on your federal taxes, you can save even more!
Please check with your tax advisor for more information.
