Each year, alumni and friends demonstrate their loyalty to Pfeiffer’s future by giving $1,000 or more to The Pfeiffer Fund. These special partners who pledge to support the University at this level for five years are recognized as Devoted & True.
What is Devoted & True?
It’s a community of Devoted & True donors who invest in Pfeiffer’s mission to prepare students to be thoughtful, well-rounded leaders in their fields through intentional mentorship, real-world experiences, and exemplary academic and athletic programs. Their endorsement – by “Pledging Now, Paying Later” – is a comfortable and sustainable way to give to The Pfeiffer Fund, which helps the University address institutional priorities in a planned and predictable manner. Their trust and commitment provide a steady stream of unrestricted support that builds a pipeline of contributions Pfeiffer can depend on, laying the foundation for fundraising growth in the years to come.
Why Should I Pledge?
Pfeiffer’s mission matters more than ever! With a Devoted & True pledge, you will support Pfeiffer’s tradition of educating students for purposeful living. Your pledge helps determine what the University can accomplish because, with promises of reliable donation revenue, Pfeiffer is nimble and resilient. As a partner in leadership giving, you will receive regular insider updates from President Scott Bullard, donor recognition at University events, and Devoted & True appreciation swag.
Your pledge frees up University resources to seek new donors who – like you – will make a meaningful difference for today’s students. Your willingness to share your charitable investment dollars will influence others. Your support is a true measure of gratitude for what Pfeiffer means to you!
