The Mansfield University Foundation reports and recognizes gifts on a fiscal year beginning July 1st and ends June 30th each year. We encourage alumni, parents, friends, and the business community to show their loyalty to the university with financial support whenever is most convenient for them.
Donors can choose to either designate their gift for a specific purpose, i.e. specific scholarships programs, departments, or where greatest need exists. The Foundation encourages unrestricted gifts which can be allocated to areas where the need is the greatest. In all cases, the Foundation will carry out the wishes of the donor.
