Unrestricted Funds
Donors who make gifts without stipulating how they should be used are providing "unrestricted" funding that allows Fredonia the ability to apply them toward its immediate priorities, ranging from day to day operations to sudden emergencies, to rare opportunities.
Every Gift Matters
Just as an orchestra depends on every instrument in-tune and playing their part, Fredonia relies on donors and friends to help us continually improve the campus community for all.

Making a Difference

Paying it Forward
“I remain humble and filled with so much gratitude for being selected as a recipient of this scholarship. I will remember this always and hope to be in a position one day to help a student like you have helped me.”
