FREDlanthropy Day is coming!
Mark your calendars! Wednesday, April 27 is SUNY Fredonia’s annual #FREDlanthropy Day of Giving.
Fredonians of all affiliations are encouraged that day to take to the Fredonia social media pages, learn about the impact of donations around campus, and most importantly, spread the culture of #FREDlanthropy by giving back through the Fredonia College Foundation.

Every year, dedicated donors impact the Fredonia experience for all students - whether they choose to give to scholarships, departments and programs, athletics, or unrestricted funds which go toward priority needs. This year on #FREDlanthropy Day, alumni are encouraged to consider the impact they might have if they challenge all of their Fredonia friends to match their gift as well, building a network of generosity that supports Fredonians for generations to come.
Students are welcomed to participate this year by stopping by the Thank You Station in University Commons from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to learn about the impact of FREDlanthropy and share a message of gratitude with our donors.
Organizers noted it is not the size of the gift, but rather the intent of the investment that makes an impact on the lives of Fredonians, and on the future of Fredonia. On April 27, a gift through the Fredonia College Foundation means even more as it shows a commitment to the spirit of #FREDlanthropy and demonstrates just how big and caring the network of Fredonians are. Follow the action @fredoniau on social media, or at www.fredlanthropy.com and share the message of #FREDlanthropy.
Associate Director of Development Jenn Michalek noted, “Each experience of Fredonia has undoubtedly been influenced by alumni and donors from previous generations – from the scholarships granted to deserving students, to the programs and departments shaping the educational journey, to the very buildings and learning spaces comprising the Fredonia campus. Fredonia is much more than an educational institution, and becomes a community and home for many. This is what we celebrate on #FREDlanthropy Day.”
