Support Shepherd's Excellence
For 150 years, Shepherd University has served as a hub of intellectual thought and creativity, a driver of innovative research and transformative economic development. Giving Day’s Shepherd Excellence programs are part of what makes this community so special and unique.
The Giving Day 2022 goal is ambitious – to have at least 400 members of our community make a gift to Shepherd University in one day. This is double the 2021 goal!
As we reach milestones throughout the day, the school will unlock gifts from dedicated alumni and community Challenge Gift Donors. See how every gift counts — no matter the size!

Dear Ram Nation,
The funding generated through our annual Giving Day campaign is paramount to enhancing the Shepherd University Athletic Club’s constant mission of supporting all our men’s and women’s athletic programs. This year the Shepherd University Athletic Club has a dollar for dollar matching donation challenge from the amazing and generous Scott and Linda Roach of $14,000, we are currently over halfway to our goal with more than $7,000 donated! Donate to the SUAC today to help us match the Roach's challenge!
After a successful fall and winter competition season full of playoff berths and now with spring competitions underway, Shepherd Athletics is in a very exciting time. While many of our athletic goals are achieved through on-field wins or excellence in the classroom, some of them require the assistance of Ram Nation to secure a positive result. We know that, with your backing, anything is possible.
Today is an exciting day for our campus and for our student-athletes, and last year’s achievement showed us that Ram Nation is set and ready to leave their mark on this campus. With your help and participation, I know this year’s campaign will be even more successful than last year. Thank you for enriching the lives of our student-athletes, coaches, and staff members through your involvement on this important day.
Go Rams!
