CORNERSTONE CAMPAIGN

The FHSU Foundation is leading a comprehensive campaign to raise $60 million in private gifts over the next three years. This new funding will come from alumni and friends of FHSU. All donations, including those from Tiger Call, will count towards the campaign goal.
The "Cornerstone Campaign" is an ambitious effort that will raise money in four general areas: scholarships, professorships, departmental support and completion of the Picken Hall renovation. Donations directed to the greatest need of the university can be used for the most pressing areas, which often include scholarships.
Funding for higher education has recently been reduced as a result of state budget shortfalls, underscoring the need for private support through the Cornerstone Campaign.
During the silent phase, $36.6 million of the $60 million goal was raised, inspiring others to give to FHSU generously.
