About Founders Day of Giving

We are excited to announce that Founders Day of Giving is just around the corner on February 12! This special day marks the anniversary of Lincoln Memorial University’s founding and coincides with Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. It’s a time for the entire Railsplitter community—alumni, employees, students, and friends of LMU—to come together and show their support for the Blue & Gray.

Join Us in Giving Your Twenty for the Top Hat!

Each year, we have asked the LMU community to give their Twenty for the Top Hat to show the power of your gift of any size. This year, Twenty for the Top Hat takes on an additional meaning with Twenty For The Top Hat Challenges that your gift can make an immediate impact with.
