Frequently Asked Questions

Your gift, above and beyond your important day-to-day duties, represents how you go the extra miles to support students. Please consider investing in the Greatest Need Fund - in any amount - to make the most difference in a student's life. Gifts help support scholarships, library acquisitions, technology upgrades and so much more. Every gift makes a difference to our students.

I already work here, why should I give?

Everyone cares about SU in their own way. The Faculty-Staff Campaign allows each of us to support a part of the University that is important to us. Additionally, a strong foundation of giving within the University sends an important message to prospective donors in the community.
Where does my money go?

For a full comprehensive listing of designations. Many of your colleagues choose to restrict their Salisbury University Annual gifts to a specific department or program, while others might give to support technology improvements, the SU Libraries, Maroon & Gold Club (athletics) or the many scholarships that are available to our students. Conversely, other colleagues may choose to make an unrestricted gift to the Greatest Need Fund. Unrestricted gifts enable the University to fund areas of critical need and take advantage of unexpected opportunities that will benefit the University.
