Matching Gift Opportunities Available to Support Students During Giving Tuesday

Through the Truman State University Foundation, donors can make a difference in the lives of Truman students. 

In conjunction with Giving Tuesday, the Foundation is coordinating two matching gift campaigns for programs that directly impact students. Donations made to the Truman Food Pantry Fund and the Career Center Clothing Closet Fund will be matched up to $5,000.

The Truman Food Pantry focuses on alleviating food insecurity and provides access to nutritious options for students in need. Thanks to matching funds from Jacquelyn “Jackie” Settlage, donations are matched dollar for dollar up to $5,000. Donations can make all the difference in the lives of students, supporting their physical health and academic performance.
    
Career Center Clothing Closet helps aspiring Truman students dress for success. This on-campus resource provides access to professional attire for students who are preparing for a job interview, an internship or a networking event. Thanks to the generosity of Amanda (’93) and Justin (’93) Gioia, every dollar donated – up to $5,000 – will be matched.

In addition to these campaigns, the Truman State University Foundation administers a variety of funds and scholarships that support the needs of the University and students. A list of Foundation funds and scholarships can be found here. Donations can be made at any time. For more information, contact the Office of Advancement at gifts@truman.edu or 800.452.6678.
