FRANKLIN, Ind. – Franklin College alumni, friends, and campus community members came together in extraordinary fashion for the college’s 13th annual day of giving, #GivetoGRIZ, on Wednesday, April 16. The result was the most impactful giving day in the college’s history, raising $358,985, soaring past the goal of $250,000.
The money raised supports the Franklin Fund, which enables programming throughout the institution.
“The overwhelming response to #GivetoGRIZ is a testament to the commitment of our alumni and friends to the mission and momentum of Franklin College,” said Franklin College President Kerry N. Prather. “These gifts are investments in the transformational education we provide and in the future of every student who walks our campus.”
Elwood Staffing and RepuCare were major sponsors for the 2025 campaign.
The one-day giving challenge began in 2013, raising $14,500 from 137 donors. Since then, it has grown significantly each year in both participation and impact, reflecting the college’s expanding community of philanthropic champions.
