24 WILD Hours of Giving

Each year, we set aside 24 hours for the C-SC community to come together and make a significant impact for students by supporting the Student Scholarship Fund. The 24 Hours of Giving provide us with a chance to celebrate what it means to be a member of the Wildcat family.

This year's event will take place from noon on March 17th through noon on March 18th as we GO WILD for C-SC students. 

During these special 24 hours,  you can get involved by sharing memories and stories of your time on "the Hill," following our social media to learn more about the lives changed by your philanthropy, and making a gift to the Student Scholarship Fund. 

Your gift to the Student Scholarship Fund makes a difference EVERY DAY. During the 24 Hours of Giving, all gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar (up to $50,000) by an anonymous donor, DOUBLING the impact of your generous giving.

The Student Scholarship Fund provides crucial scholarships to deserving Wildcat students so that they may benefit from the exceptional Culver-Stockton College experience. More than 90% of C-SC students receive scholarship support and, for many of them, these scholarship dollars are often the factor that determines if they will be able to pay for college. 

You can make the greatest impact during our 24 Hours of Giving by following our formula:

GIVE- Make a contribution of any size to the Student Scholarship Fund. 

LIKE- Follow along on the OFFICIAL C-SC social media platforms to learn more about the students who are impacted by scholarship support. Your engagement on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram helps us reach more people through the algorithm. 

SHARE- Spread the word! Send an email to classmates, post on your Facebook page, tweet, blog, go live on Instagram. Whatever tools you use, be sure to shout it out and celebrate that it’s the C-SC 24 Hours of Giving! You can also promote the 24 Hours of Giving by signing up to be an Ambassador. 

Members of the C-SC community who register to be Ambassadors have an opportunity to share their stories, rally their friends and classmates to give, and engage with C-SC on social media, all while tracking the impact of their efforts. For more information about signing up as an Ambassador, click the AMBASSADORS link at the top of the page. CLICK HERE to watch a short Ambassador FAQ Training Video!

Alumni giving is incredibly important, as Wildcat alumni have an opportunity to boost our regional and national rankings by increasing our overall alumni giving rate. When 20% or more of our alumni give back, this signals to ranking organizations and prospective foundation grant makers that C-SC alumni care about the future of the institution and want to invest in programs they believe in. 

The Office of Advancement and Alumni Programs is available to answer your questions about getting involved and making a gift. Please contact Susie Biggerstaff, Coordinator of Gift Records and Stewardship, at 573.288.6320 or sbiggerstaff@culver.edu for assistance.
