Each year the extended Berea College community—from near and far—comes together for a 24-hour fundraising event in support of Berea’s inspiring mission. Alumni, friends, organizations, faculty, staff, and even students give to show their love of Berea Beloved, where students are worth more than the tuition they can afford.

What is Giving Day?

Most Giving Day gifts are made to the Berea Fund, which completes Tuition Promise Scholarships for those currently studying on campus. The Berea Fund is our most critical need every year. We must raise about $3,500 per student to make a no-tuition education possible for every Berea student. 
 
Some donors also choose to support other initiatives on Giving Day. Learn more <a href="https://www.berea.edu/giving/funding-opportunities">here</a>.

What will my gift support? 

We hope to raise enough support to complete 100 Tuition Promise Scholarships (which equates to about $350,000).

Is there a goal?

I’m so glad you asked! The first step is to make a gift on August 29, 2024. Then, you can make this Giving Day have an even greater impact for Berea by helping us spread the word. Please visit our social media toolkit to learn more.
