Young Benefactors

The Furman Young Benefactors program embodies Furman’s strategic priority on young alumni and celebrates qualifying donors with special invitations to exclusive events and young alumni leadership opportunities.

Young Benefactors represent the strength of Furman’s young alumni base, and Young Benefactor donations help support any number of projects and initiatives at the university. Please consider a gift to any of the following designations that directly impact our annual needs.
