Parent philanthropy is your opportunity to partner with Furman University. By partnering with the university, you can support the Furman student experience for your child and all students. Furman families are the cornerstone of giving, offering opportunities for future students to experience the life-changing four years that their children enjoyed. Through a philanthropic gift, families carry on the Furman traditions of academic excellence, holistic liberal arts, and a community-minded environment for all.
