Signum University Annual Fund

Donate Now to Support These Programs

This year’s campaign will take place between Wednesday, September 22, and Saturday, October 16, 2021.

A few words about Gifts and Prizes!
This year’s Annual Fund Campaign will take place mainly during our regular broadcasts.
We will be doing special weekly gift raffles for our donors, combining our new donors with our recurring donors. Recurring donors who would like to improve their chances of winning a gift may make one-time donations each week throughout the campaign to receive an extra entry into the weekly drawings. The gift drawings will occur each week during the Mythgard Academy, The Nature of Middle-earth broadcast for the duration of the campaign. You do not need to be present to win, but we’d love to have you there so we can thank you personally for your support!
We will also be giving away prizes to our regional moot attendees. Those physically attending the moots and those attending digitally will have a chance to win!

Extra special days to put on your calendar:

9/22 Traditional Kick Off on Hobbit Day during our Mythgard Academy, The Nature of Middle-earth broadcast.

9/25 New England Moot: Second Breakfast
While this regional moot is not campaign focused, Corey will be talking a little about the campaign, and perhaps more importantly, giving away some prizes to attendees, both corporeal and virtual!

Don’t expect an early start as our fearless leader is rather vampiric in his daily sleep and work cycle.

Signum University’s students, staff, and faculty are grateful to our donors, and we want to show our appreciation. Individuals who donate at certain levels will receive the benefits outlined below.

Note: This year we are making it even easier to receive benefits through monthly donations. Recurring monthly donations help Signum better plan for budgeted expenses throughout the year. Please consider setting up a recurring contribution when completing the donation form.
