A $250,000 matching pledge turns donor participation into a threshold for unlocking maximum funding

Reaching 1,000 donors by April 16 unlocks $250,000 in matching funds from Westminster College’s Board of Trustees. The college’s Giving Day 2026 campaign, Titans Together, hinges on participation: the full trustee pledge is contingent on hitting that donor threshold, not the total amount raised. Every gift—no matter the size—counts as one participant toward the goal. Donors can direct their contributions to specific campus initiatives, including scholarships, academic programs, emergency aid, athletics, and experiential learning opportunities like the Honors Program Greece trip and Model United Nations. The matching structure means a single additional donor can trigger a proportional share of the $250,000, effectively amplifying small contributions through collective action. The campaign runs through April 16, with early giving already open via the GiveCampus platform. If the college falls short of 1,000 donors, the full match will not be released.
