Naz Giving Day is almost here! In the days ahead, our community of alumni, students, faculty, staff, families, and friends will come together to support the people and programs that make Nazareth special. Every gift of every size adds up to help Naz students thrive. Mark your calendar, spread the word, and get ready to make an impact together!
Give to any area on campus for Naz Giving Day and your gift will be matched to the Nazareth Annual Fund dollar-for-dollar, up to $150,000! Thanks to a circle of generous trustees and alumni, your gift makes twice the impact.
Giving Day Challenges
Flyers Inspiring Flyers
0 / 250
Nazareth alumni are rallying together to encourage fellow Golden Flyers to give on Giving Day! Joan Caruso '67, Janet Smith '73, and an anonymous alumna donor have generously committed a special challenge gift of $35,000 to the Nazareth Annual Fund — but it will only be released if 250 other alumni join them in making a gift on Giving Day.
Take the challenge, make your Giving Day gift, and show the strength of the Golden Flyer community. When alumni give together, the impact for Nazareth students is even greater.

Campus Renovations
Updating residence hall rooms, shared lounge/kitchen spaces (like Lourdes Hall, in photo), and creating private bathrooms provide a comfortable home away from home and better support students in connecting with peers and taking breaks between study sessions, classes, athletics, and community engagement. Added elevators provide greater accessibility — the first one in Lourdes since it opened in 1958. All made possible through a combination of funding sources, including donor dollars!
Study Abroad
Performing arts immersion in London’s West End theater scene for musical theatre majors. A 10-day performing tour in Poland for student singers, including connecting and dancing with folk music performers there. Studying art history in Greece — where most art fundamentals originated — with fellow art majors and two Nazareth art faculty members. “It changed my whole perspective of the world,” said Isabelle Talley, a junior majoring in studio art, whose experience was made possible by a Naz SPARK Grant. Your gift helps Nazareth to keep costs as low as possible for these life-changing experiences.
Research Opportunities
Junior Olivia Dibble, the first in her family to go to college, is a biochemistry and psychology double major conducting cutting-edge genetic research — driven by a mission to help her father and others living with a rare genetic disorder. She’s already presented research at a national conference in San Diego, authored and won a research grant, and co-designed a lab experiment used in Nazareth's genetics course. "My college experiences have made me realize I am capable of more than I think," she said. A gift to the Nazareth Annual Fund helps provide top-notch research opportunities like these.
