What is the Wittenberg Fund?
The Wittenberg Fund is the University鈥檚 unrestricted fund 鈥� it provides financial support for virtually every purpose and function of the Wittenberg learning community. Contributions provide sustaining support for academic, scholarship, cultural and athletic programs; faculty retention and recruitment; campus renewal and beautification; and other department programs and initiatives.
Why are philanthropic gifts important to the university?
The University has three primary sources of revenue: tuition, endowment earnings, and gift income. The more our donors, alumni and friends give, the better we are able to maintain tuition, facilities, and salaries at competitive levels.
The challenges facing Wittenberg and all of higher education are significant. At Wittenberg, we are tackling university-specific challenges such as historic buildings with significant maintenance needs, limited new revenue prospects, and an on-going cash crunch. To thrive, Wittenberg must adapt to current realities, and we are implementing significant cost-cutting measures.
During this season of financial hardship, the Board of Directors accepted a proposal on Aug. 15, 2024, that prioritizes in-person learning and our on-campus residential experience. The plan also meets the requirements to achieve the necessary budget reductions by the 2026-2027 academic year. This included a reduction in faculty and staff. Wittenberg will adapt, shift, and evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of our students and the world, leveraging the tools that make the most sense in terms of our mission and purpose.
While the road ahead will be challenging, we will emerge stronger and ready to provide transformative educational experiences for generations of Wittenberg Tigers to come. Our success depends on every member of the Wittenberg community reaffirming their commitment to the University. We call upon you to stand with us in supporting Wittenberg in every possible way.

Can I set up my gift in future payments?
Your gift can be made through several installments (monthly, quarterly, etc.). Gifts are tabulated as they come in and credited in the fiscal year received. Multi-year pledges can also be set up, for up to 5 years.
Does my gift really matter?
Every gift, no matter the size, is important to the overall effort. It is a greatly under-appreciated fact that we influence others by our acts of kindness, compassion and charity. Quite often, it is the smaller, sacrificial gift that inspires greater contributions from others. No great effort is achieved without the participation of many - and often in relation to the actions of others.
