Annual Giving
When you support Furman with your annual gift, you are making the difference between a good experience and a great one.
Furman depends on gifts made each year to the annual fund to support the tuition and operating costs for all students, athletic pursuits, research, study away and internships. Your gifts keep the Furman experience alive.
There are countless ways to make your impact on Furman today with an annual gift. We value choice above all else for our donors, and want to help you connect with the philanthropic opportunities that matter most to you. Here are a few key ways you can help:
Staff and Faculty Matters
The place Furman staff and faculty call "employer" is a special one. Furman employees can contribute to the program or fund that matters most to them and become stakeholders. Learn more.
Furman UNITED
Backed by a generous grant from the Daniel Mickel Foundation, Furman United helps current students overcome financial difficulties so that they can graduate from Furman. Support Furman students.
Summer Research & Internships fellows
We fund hundreds of internships and research opportunities all over the world thanks to donations from our alumni. Furman offers one of the few programs in the United States that directly funds student internships each summer, providing competitive fellowships for students who would otherwise receive little or no payment. Fund student research and internships.
