Today starts Crawford Gives!

Today is the first day of Crawford Gives!

When you support Edinboro, your generosity reaches far beyond campus. It strengthens the programs, traditions, and experiences that make our campus special, and that support ultimately uplifts our students and the communities they call home.

Your gift today is more than a donation. It’s an investment in our students, our campus, and the Edinboro community we all love.

Every gift makes a difference. Every donor is part of the story. And together, we can make an even greater impact.

Last year, your generosity generated $12,636 in gifts during Erie Gives and Crawford Gives! Because of philanthropists like you, our 2025 giving events were a tremendous success.

This year, our giving day message is one of community: supporting our campus trickles down to supporting its community and culture, which in turn uplifts the individual student.

To champion this initiative, we are highlighting the Edinboro Highland Games Fund for Erie Gives and Crawford Gives. This fund helps provide Scottish cultural enrichment programs to students and the Edinboro community. By directing your gift to this fund, you help us preserve and celebrate our campus' heritage.

Additionally, as part of our commitment to the individual members of our community, we are continuing to raise resources for the Student Retention Fund. Currently, 30% of our students are first-generation, and 44% are Pell Grant Eligible. Traditional financial aid is simply not enough to bridge the gap for many hardworking students. This fund helps students stay enrolled when all other financial aid options have been exhausted.

To meet the needs of both our cultural programming, community, and our students, we have set a goal to raise $20,000 for Erie Gives and $3,000 for Crawford Gives. Both giving events offer a prorated match, meaning a portion of matching funds will be added to each eligible donation.

Your support helps define "The Boro" experience and helps shape the bright futures of our Fighting Scots! Thank you for considering a gift to the Edinboro University Foundation.

Save the dates for Erie and Crawford Gives!

We at the Foundation believe preserving our campus’s rich Scottish heritage goes beyond tradition. We strive to cultivate a thriving, supportive culture that uplifts our students and our Edinboro community.

As we prepare for Erie Gives and Crawford Gives this August, we are proudly championing the Edinboro Highland Games Fund.

By directing your investments toward this fund, you are helping us provide in-depth Scottish cultural enrichment programming and events for PennWest Edinboro and the surrounding Edinboro community.

Both Erie Gives and Crawford Gives offer a prorated match, meaning a portion of matching funds will be added to each eligible donation.

Learn more about of 2026 giving day goals, and see how we are thoughtfully directing your investments toward high-impact initiatives.
