As a follow-up to the all-employee meeting on Jan. 21, the advancement office wanted to share fundraising progress year-to-date (YTD). It’s the mission of our office to raise funds to support all the amazing things that George Fox staff and students do every day.
One of our main priorities is raising money for the Student Fund, which provides unrestricted dollars for financial aid, student athletics and arts, study abroad programs, campus improvement, etc. But we also are always working on special projects. One of our top priorities this year is raising funds to build a new activity center that will allow students of all skill levels to exercise, do intramurals and meet for clubs, student government, etc. We are also always partnering with faculty members on grant opportunities for research and program funding.
It has been a great year so far! God has been blessing our work.

We’re off to a great start this semester. Please reach out to advancement with any questions, donor ideas, grant proposals, etc. We’re happy to answer your questions! Call us at 503-554-2115.

In the event of a campus- or city-wide emergency such as a severe winter storm, flood or major earthquake, employees, students and visitors to George Fox should be prepared to keep safe and possibly assist in recovery. Therefore, we are providing life-saving C-CERT training for any and all interested persons.
In an effort to make it easier for more people to participate, we are doing a hybrid course of online instruction combined with lunch-hour training once a week to build knowledge and skills as a CERT member. The weekly meetings will be every Tuesday starting Feb. 2 and last from noon to 1 p.m.
