F&M's sixth annual Day of Giving kicks off on Tuesday, March 18. This year we're challenging 1,787 donors — alumni, students, families, faculty, professional staff and friends of the College — to show their support for the Franklin & Marshall Fund.
All six designations of the Franklin & Marshall Fund collectively support the exceptional education and robust opportunities that help current and future students expand their influence and become the Diplomats the world needs. Every student is positively impacted by each dollar given to the Franklin & Marshall Fund.
The six Franklin & Marshall Fund designations are: Area of Greatest Impact, Financial Aid, Academic Excellence, Athletics Excellence Fund, Community & Belonging Priorities and Student Experience.
Wow! Our 6th annual Day of Giving has concluded after an incredible show of support from F&M donors. Thank you!
Even though Day of Giving has ended, you can still make a gift to F&M at any time through our standard giving site go.fandm.edu/give.
The leaderboards have been close, but these groups managed to hold on to the top spot. Congratulations!

It's been a SWEET Day of Giving! We're feeling so inspired by all the alumni, students, families, faculty, staff and friends who have shown their support for F&M.
Remember, your gift to the Franklin & Marshall Fund supports students from the moment they step onto campus until they turn their tassels at Commencement - and everything in between!
There's less than an hour left to be counted as part of the #1787in1787.
Are you:
- A current parent?
- A new donor?
- A member of the Class of 1980, 2000 or 2004?
If so, you can help unlock challenge dollars and matching funds!
