The generosity of our donors helps us deliver a Sewanee experience that will continue to develop students of capacity, character, and consequence for generations to come.
"One motivation for my service to Sewanee is the fact that we have so much potential as a university and as a place."

"Whatever I can give, I give. And as I can give more, I give more."
"The more I learn about Sewanee, the more interested I am in giving money to the things I believe need support."
"Sewanee is a beautiful place, and I really feel I want it to succeed in perpetuity."

鈥淚f something is meaningful to you or meaningful to your family鈥攚hether it鈥檚 an athletic or an arts or an academic program鈥攖hat鈥檚 something worth your support.鈥�
鈥淢y children love the place and the space, so I told myself, 鈥榃hatever we have, we need to plant it here.鈥�

鈥淚 would encourage everyone who has an IRA, and wants to engage in charitable giving, to consider using it.鈥�
鈥淚 feel like Sewanee made us more philanthropic-minded. Sewanee creates an environment that encourages you to think outside yourself.鈥�
鈥淚t鈥檚 easier to have a discipline of giving a little bit every month.鈥�
"Sewanee was a natural choice because of our connections and because of everything the University has done for us."
鈥淕ive until it feels good, and I can say that it does feel good to know that you've helped. And it feels especially good at Sewanee because of the appreciation of so many of the people who are positively impacted by Sewanee鈥檚 excellent stewardship of their gifts.鈥�
