Every gift from a member of the class of 1974 to the Luther Fund will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $74,000. Both outright gifts and multi-year pledges (up to 5 years) given to the Luther Fund will activate matching funds.

Your gift will make an immediate difference on campus supporting students involved in meaningful research projects, life-changing study abroad programs, community-building student groups on campus, and so much more.

Give online today and note “1974 Match” in the comments.
