The Office of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving is now accepting spring semester project applications for the University\u2019s crowdfunding platform, an online fundraising tool intended to solicit philanthropic support for student, faculty, and staff projects. Crowdfunding is a project-specific online fundraising campaign in which a passionate group of advocates, with assistance from the Office of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving, solicit online donations via email and social media.<\/p>\n

Through this unique fundraising tool, members of the Monmouth community can come together to create, participate in, and share projects dedicated to supporting student success and institutional achievement. So far this academic year, 12 crowdfunding projects have been supported by over 200 gifts and nearly $22,000.<\/p>\n

Spring 2020 projects are expected to launch after March 1, and can remain active through June 30.<\/p>\n

To learn more about crowdfunding at Monmouth and how to submit a project for consideration, attend an upcoming information session at Alumni House or visit the website at\u00a0fly.monmouth.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
