The Messiah Fund

Each year, a dedicated group of Messiah students calls thousands of alumni, parents, and friends on behalf of the Messiah Fund. During each calling session Phonathon callers:

• Raise funds that directly impact current students by helping to keep tuition rates affordable
• Keep alumni connected by collecting family, career and service updates for publication in The Bridge
• Update address, phone, and email information so our donors receive important College communications
• Share news from campus
• Receive and record prayer requests

At our We Love Messiah on campus event, we create an opportunity for students to learn more about the impact of giving. During this event, students get the chance to both celebrate the impact of giving, as well as say "thank you" to our donors!

Our seniors are asked to give a legacy gift to the Messiah Fund during their senior year here at Messiah. We ask them to give because we want them to join in the tradition of giving back to the generosity from which they have already benefitted. It's the perfect way for them to celebrate their graduation and begin their journey as an alumni of Messiah College.

Each year, Messiah College is privileged to welcome alumni back to campus to celebrate their reunion during Homecoming. Reunions are a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with classmates and friends, relive special memories, and renew a relationship with Messiah.

Reunion gifts are given by the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 50th reunion classes and provide a special opportunity to give back to the College as a unified class. Reunion classes work together to present a significant class gift to the College, which expresses appreciation to the College for the education that was received many years ago while simultaneously leaving a legacy for the next generation of Messiah College students.

At Homecoming 2016,  reunion class gifts will be presented by the following classes:

• 2011 - 5 Year Reunion
• 2006 - 10 Year Reunion
• 2001 - 15 Year Reunion
• 1991 - 20 Year Reunion
• 1966 - 50 Year Reunion

Messiah College thanks our Corporate Partners who provide gifts of at least $1000 per year. Your support enables our students, employees, and alumni to make a positive difference in our region, the nation, and the world.
