The Davidson College Fund for Davidson-formerly the Annual Fund-had an exciting fiscal year 2016, which ended June 30, 2016. The college's $425 million capital campaign launched in November of 2014, so this second public year of the campaign provided new opportunities on the annual giving side. In addition to annual dollar and participation goals, they continued to build upon their work with crowdfunding platform, GiveCampus, to bring continued energy to the third year of a one-day challenge, "All in for Davidson," which secured more than $763,000 from 2,727 donors in a single 24-hour period. The college further engaged volunteers around class giving and reunion giving, with several class goals surpassed during the year.
From the Judges' Report
Really good, effective use of social media and excellent use of volunteers. Project had a lot of student and campus involvement. Very impressive numbers all around-participation rate particularly.
