We go above and beyond
We serve an exceptional University. That means we must be exceptional. We must go beyond what a university foundation normally does so we can provide what Shippensburg University and its students truly need. Through our support of Ship – through your support of Ship – we empower students, improve facilities, fund research, and advance our regional economy.
We work through you, year after year
Since 1977, the Shippensburg University Foundation has been advancing the University’s mission of excellence. Our job is to inspire you – alumni, family,and friends — to support Ship,and to ensure that your gifts have maximum impact. Together, we support Ship’s most critical needs through the Annual Fund, year after year. Together, we support future needs through planned giving. Together, we make a difference for our University and its students.
We invest in the future
We have an entrepreneurial outlook, seeking proactive ways to raise funds in support of Ship. We own and operate off-campus student housing, the Bartos Child and Family Center, and the Courtyard by Marriott. These ventures provide much-needed community services while generating income that benefits the University.
This is how we make great even better.
