FOUNDERS’ DAY Giving Challenge

On April 11, 2022, we hosted the inaugural Founders’ Day Giving Challenge, a special one-day fundraising effort in support of our buildings.

Through this fully virtual fundraiser, friends, board members, faculty, staff, and alumni of Nashotah House gave over $44,000 –more than double our original goal.

Karen Moore, a member of our Board of Visitors, gave a $10,000 matching gift, which inspired many additional gifts.

The giving challenge was designed to honor our founders and invited our supporters to invest in the buildings that have housed seminarians for generations.

The generosity of our donors has enabled us to begin work on a long-awaited remodel of Shelton Hall. The project will include a new Welcome Center, establishing an easily identifiable location for visitors to park and check in with our staff, as well as a comfortable and welcoming place for students, their families, and friends to gather to relax or study.

The Founders’ Day Challenge will return on April 3, 2023.

I wanted to invest in the future of the House and its sons and daughters. I believed that offering a matching gift was a way to encourage everyone to support the House. It is not about how much you give, but the desire to make a difference.
