Giving matters. Thank you for choosing to give to Goldey-Beacom College. Your generosity significantly impacts current and future students as well as the College's sustainability.

There are many ways to give – the Annual Fund which has provided more than $17 million annually in student scholarships, the Department of Athletics which manages 13 NCAA sports and endowed family scholarships just to name a few. A list of opportunities is below.

Emergency Fund for Students Affected by COVID-19

Goldey-Beacom College wants to help students fight the negative economic impact that is unfolding before them. We know that additional funds to help with the event of job loss, food and housing insecurity, and other unexpected bills will make life a little easier. We want to help them to continue their Goldey-Beacom education as seamlessly as possible.

We remain strongly committed to helping students get through this crisis, and we can do even more with your help

Capital Campaign

In response to a more than 30 percent increase in new, full-time undergraduate students since 2015, emerging student trends and recognizing future needs, Goldey-Beacom College embarked on a $30 million, two-year major campus expansion and renovation project.

Would YOU like to leave a lasting legacy for future generations? The College has created numerous naming opportunities to give alumni and friends a chance to become a lasting part of current campus improvements.

William A. Franta Hall has been named from a generous $2 million gift. Take a moment and think about how you might like to leave a lasting impression for generations to come. Please contact Janine Sorbello, Director of External Affairs to talk about how you'd like to give back to the school. We offer many choices from naming a locker in the new athletics expansion project for $500 to naming a student lounge in William A. Franta Hall for $125,000 and many levels in between. Call or email Janine (302 225-6261 sorbello@gbc.edu) and she’ll help you build your legacy.

Your donation to the Goldey-Beacom College Capital Campaign will be matched up to $400,000 by the Longwood Foundation, bringing us one step closer to our goal!
