Thanks to remarkable support from the Sandburg community, the Sandburg Foundation’s 2024 Giving Tuesday campaign raised more than twice as much money as the previous year.
This year’s Giving Tuesday campaign totaled $87,365 from 93 donors, including gifts from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Florida, Ohio and Utah. The 2024 dollar amount surpassed last year’s Giving Tuesday contributions by more than $50,000, marking an overall increase of 141 percent.
In the past three years, donations to the foundation’s Giving Tuesday campaigns have generated more than $145,000 to the Sandburg community to promote student success through scholarships, assistance grants, innovation grants and more. Donor affiliations for this year included faculty, staff, alumni, friends, parents and students.

The success and growth of this campaign is a sign of how much our community believes in the power of education and the work people do at Sandburg. Each year, I’m amazed by the commitments made by our Giving Tuesday donors, and we hope to add to it throughout the coming year.”
