MOBILE, Ala. – The University of Mobile invites alumni, friends and supporters to make an eternal impact in students’ lives and make a tax-deductible donation during UM’s Spring Day of Giving on Wednesday, May 14.
This online fundraising event supports The Great Commission Fund at the Christian university and provides critical resources to equip students to boldly live out their faith and pursue their calling through Christ-centered higher education.
UM President Charles Smith said The Great Commission Fund directly supports the university’s mission of multiplying Kingdom leaders by preparing students for missional leadership in their chosen careers and communities.
“Every vocation is a calling from the Lord, whether it’s mathematics or ministry, accounting or healthcare, education or evangelism. We equip students to pursue their vocations with excellence, disciple them to be missional leaders with a passion for the Lord, then send them out to make a difference in the world for Christ and His Kingdom. Your gifts to The Great Commission Fund make this happen,” Smith said.
Tax-deductible gifts:
- Provide Scholarships, helping students afford a Christ-centered education and pursue their callings without financial barriers.
- Expand Spiritual Formation, supporting programs that deepen students’ faith and commitment to the Great Commission.
- Equip Christ-centered leaders, by investing in the next generation of leaders who will serve, influence, and share the gospel worldwide.
How to Give
Throughout the day on May 14, the university will share student stories on social media and invite supporters to make gifts of any size. Supporters can also amplify their impact by sharing social media posts and encouraging others to participate.
Messages from students and Spring Day of Giving updates will be posted on University of Mobile social media (@univofmobile) throughout the day.
Gifts are tax-deductible and can be made online at umobile.edu/dayofgiving or by calling the Office for Institutional Relations at 251.442.2913.
