Current Development Projects
These are some of the projects we are working on currently in the Office of Development. Special projects usually come about after an expressed interest from a base of donors. Some projects are funded entirely by a small group of individuals, while others have more broad support. Once principle gifts have been secured to give a project its foundation, the Office of Development may solicit a wider audience for additional support. If you would like more information about a specific project, please contact Shawn Lyons.
