In many ways, an institution’s vibrancy can be measured by the strength of its annual giving programs, both in terms of overall financial commitments and in rate of participation. At Seton Hall, that includes the University Annual Fund, Pirate Blue, Seminary Darlington Annual Fund, Parents’ Fund and Law Annual Fund. By supporting faculty salaries, student scholarships, ongoing programs and promising new initiatives, donors to the annual funds help ensure that the University lives out its mission today and every day. The University appreciates the importance of these gifts and so we include Annual Giving in the $150 million goal of Ever Forward: The Seton Hall Sesquicentennial Campaign.

Annual Giving - A Final Word
Every gift – whether $25,000 or $25 – to any one of the five Seton Hall annual giving programs makes a difference. In addition to being tax deductible, your gift may also qualify for a “match” from your employer. Contact your human resources office to see if your company sponsors a matching gift program that can double, or even triple, the value of your support.
