About

Lincoln Memorial University was founded on February 12, 1897. Over 125 years later, we celebrate this anniversary with LMU’s Founders Day of Giving. During this time, LMU alumni, faculty, staff, students, come together to give their twenty to the top hat in support of LMU and to commemorate its anniversary. The goal this year is to achieve 750 individual donors, and we are asking you to help us reach our goal! 

In honor of the conclusion of the year-long 125th anniversary celebration, every person who makes a gift this year for Founders Day of Giving will have their name placed inside of an LMU time capsule which is set to be buried on February 14th. Become part of LMU’s history and help us reach our goal by giving your twenty to the top hat today!
