About

As we enter into this year's Defi the Odds Campaign, we reflect on what we have accomplished and what is ahead for Defiance College! All thru the year and now more than ever “YOU MATTER” to the students and strengthening Defiance College. During May’s graduation, we sent our new DC alumni/ae into the world prepared to enter their careers and graduate school. DC students are prepared professionals, community leaders and civic stewards because of your continued support of the College!

As you think about your giving to Defiance College we hope you see the value of a Defiance College education and join us by considering a tax-deductible contribution which will make a difference in the lives of our students. Each of us have special memories of DC to share and we ask that you help the students and the College continue to make memories by making your Defi the Odds gift. Your gift can be made to the area, department, athletic team that you are most passionate about or lending your support to the college’s area of greatest need.

Thank you in advance for your support! Together we do make a difference!

Updates
The Totals are In - Thank You!

Thank you to all of our donors for your generous support! With your help we reached and surpassed $1.9 million in total giving at the end of our fiscal year on June 30, 2023. The Defi the Odds Campaign was a success in reaching and surpassing our goal of 200 donors with 283.

Together we do make a difference. Your support sends an important message to our students: We believe in you, and we believe in the transformational power of a DC education! You continue to inspire our students as they prepare for lives of leadership and service in a global society.

Again, Thank You!
