NORTH MANCHESTER – Manchester University Giving Day is Wednesday, April 20.

Gifts go to The Manchester Fund, which helps provide scholarships for students who might not otherwise be able to afford a Manchester education. It also covers many day-to-day expenses – from lab equipment to baseballs to utility bills.

The theme is “Manchester Bold: The Future is Ours.” To donate, and find other Giving Day information, go to https://givingday.manchester.edu/. 

Gifts can also be made by phone at 260-982-5997 or sent to Manchester University, c/o Giving Day, 604 E. College Ave., North Manchester, IN 46962. Manchester University is a 501(c)3 organization and gifts may be deductible as allowed by state and federal law.

The Manchester Fund helps in a variety of ways:

• Its financial aid allows deserving students of need to have the funds to stay at Manchester and graduate.
• It provides funds for classroom technology upgrades that improve student learning and expand opportunities for students and faculty to perform side-by-side research.
• Because the University’s endowment is modest, the fund serves as a financial shock absorber when prices escalate, something needs to be repaired or something else needs to be replaced.
• It provides funds for supplies and equipment so that University staff can keep buildings clean and safe and maintain the grounds.
• It helps pay for laboratory equipment and supplies, periodical subscriptions, online resources and library books for studying, writing and research.
• It helps support student activities such as May Day weekend and Homecoming.
