PAY IT FORWARD Scholars & Alumni Give Back

Our Goal:

• To inspire 3,500 scholars and alumni to donate at least $10 each.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Bill Daniels, the Daniels Fund contributes millions each year to two important causes:

• Scholarships (something we all know and love) – 30% of the Daniels Fund's annual giving 
• Grants to Nonprofits – 70% of our annual giving

We’re inviting Daniels Scholars and Alumni to join us in giving $10 to one of eight outstanding nonprofits, celebrating the collective power of our community and the impact we can make together.

Together, we can create a powerful legacy of giving, just like Bill Daniels.
