Campaign Update: $85,000 Raised. Help Us Reach $150,000.

Thanks to more than 140 generous donors, we’ve raised just over $87,000 toward our $150,000 goal for this year’s annual campaign. Your support makes it possible for students to explore, connect, and grow through FIUTS programs and develop skills and connections that last a lifetime.

“The biggest learning outcome for me was understanding how civic engagement can be a powerful tool for social change. I gained valuable skills in leadership, empathy, and community collaboration, which helped me realize that even small steps can lead to meaningful impact.”

This reflection captures why our work matters. FIUTS programs don’t just introduce students to new cultures, they equip them with leadership, empathy, and practical skills to make a difference both here in our neighborhoods and in communities around the world.

Meeting and even exceeding our goal is more important than ever this year. It’s hard to believe the pandemic ended only five years ago, and in this short time, FIUTS has also faced the UW contract cancellation and now significant federal grant losses. Any one of these challenges could have closed our doors, Your support today ensures we keep welcoming students and building community.

We still need to raise $63,000 by December 31 to reach our goal, and every gift helps. Your support allows students to continue having these transformative experiences while helping us keep FIUTS thriving and our community connected to the world.

Thank you for being part of the FIUTS family and for helping make these meaningful experiences possible.
