Help Build Extraordinary Community Through the Extraordinary Give
On November 22nd, you have 24 hours to make a life-changing impact. The Thaddeus Stevens College Foundation is participating in the Extraordinary Give, Lancaster’s largest day of online giving. Every dollar you give will be partially matched by the Lancaster County Community Foundation, making your contribution go even further.
Our students are the future of Pennsylvania’s workforce. 98% of Thaddeus Stevens College graduates secure jobs or continue their education upon graduation, and every gift you make helps provide the support they need to get there. By donating, you’re giving more than money—you’re giving opportunity, hope, and a path to success.
