Dear Central State University Alumni and Friends,
I trust this message finds you in good health and high spirits. As someone who has demonstrated unwavering support and affection for our beloved Institution, your continued engagement and support are what makes us thrive.
I am writing to share some exciting updates that will further enhance our ability to support the future of Central State University. These changes will provide a fresh, inviting, and user-friendly experience for our community of donors. Indeed, as the Honorable Congresswoman and CSU class of '72 graduate, Joyce Beatty, remarked at our 2023 Annual Alumni Meeting, this is a moment for a "Fresh Start."
As a part of our "Fresh Start," we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new online giving platform! This updated system brings with it improved ease of use, superior organizational efficiency, and a more engaging experience for online giving. We believe this move will facilitate your philanthropic efforts and foster an even deeper connection between you and Central State University.
While we are eager about this transformative change, we understand there are a few things that we are going to need your help with. We assure you that our team is prepared to guide you through this transition and make it as seamless as possible.
Here are a few key points we want you to be aware of:
-
Recurring gifts: For those of you who have generously set up recurring donations, we will need your help to transition these gifts to the new platform. Our team will reach out to you personally, providing detailed instructions on how to set up your recurring donation on the new platform.
-
Ongoing campaigns: If you are currently contributing to specific campaigns, rest assured, these will continue without interruption. You can find your desired gift designation in the dropdown menu. We will provide guidance on how to ensure your gifts continue to support these vital programs.
-
Personal information: For security purposes, we kindly ask you to re-enter your personal information into the new system. This process is necessary to ensure your information remains safe and secure, and your giving preferences are respected.
-
Account history: To maintain a record of your past generosity, we will be migrating all donor history to the new platform. Please bear with us as we complete this process, and feel free to reach out if you require any past donation information during this transition.
-
Donor support: Our dedicated donor support team will be on hand to answer any questions and help you navigate the new platform. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Hakim Evans by email at hevans@centralstate.edu or by phone at 937-376-6588 should you need any assistance.
This exciting transformation is yet another opportunity for Central State University to reaffirm our commitment to our alumni and donors, honoring the bonds that we share and the legacy that we continue to build together. We are genuinely grateful for your understanding, cooperation, and continued support.
Together, we will continue the important work of shaping the future leaders of our world. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.
Best regards,
Tiffiney R. Gray
