The 1882 Fund helps close the gap between students’ resources and college tuition among other activities crucial to the College’s day-to-day success.

“The 1882 Fund is critical to the operation and success of Hastings College and our students, and we are grateful for the matching challenge issued by Hal Dittmer,” said Hastings College President Don Jackson ’70. “Supporting the 1882 Fund at this time is a wonderful opportunity to leverage your gift and have an even greater impact on student success.”

Gifts of any amount to the 1882 Fund can be made online at hastings.edu/give or by contacting the Hastings College Foundation at 800.775.2585 or alumni@hastings.edu.
