The college’s Give1876 Day of Giving honors its founding year with an effort to rally supporters in the campaign’s final one day, eight hours, and 76 minutes.

Stillman says the campaign has raised nearly $50,000 from over 100 donors spanning 21 states and Quebec, Canada since launching in early November during Founder's Week.

The goal is to receive donations from all 50 states and surpass 200 individual contributors before the campaign officially ends Wednesday, Dec. 4.

“This is a moment to reflect on the incredible impact Stillman has had on lives across Alabama and beyond,” Stillman President Yolanda Page said. “When you support Stillman College on Giving Tuesday, you’re not only changing the trajectory of a student’s life but also the lives of their families and future generations.”

Stillman encourages donors to give in increments of $18.76, $187.60, or $1,876, though all contributions are welcomed.

What's more, special recognition will be offered for higher-level donors, including membership in the President’s Eminent Associates Giving Society for gifts exceeding $1,876.

Stillman said the campaign also highlights more than 40 projects eligible for funding.

Of the total raised so far, the college says nearly $20,000 has been allocated to its unrestricted giving fund that supports scholarships, academic programs and campus initiatives.

“This is our time as a community to give back and make a difference in the future of Stillman College,” Stillman Vice President of Institutional Advancement Kimberly Woodard said. “Every gift, no matter the size, directly impacts our students and strengthens our legacy.”

Donations can be made here or by mailing checks to Stillman College at 3601 Stillman Blvd., Box F, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401.

Stillman College said contributions postmarked by Dec. 4 will count toward the final campaign total, to be announced the week of Dec. 9.
