Why This Campaign Matters

Founding the new Jean School of Nursing and Health Sciences is an unprecedented opportunity for Saint Anselm College to become the catalyst for a change, ringing in a new era of healthcare workforce development and leadership both in our communities and nationwide.

But supporting the Jean School for Nursing and Health Sciences isn’t just about funding a new building. We know you understand the growing complexity and challenges of healthcare professionals in our world, and we share your concern for what this means to people of all backgrounds in our communities—and across the nation.

There will always be a need for nurses. Won’t it be best if they are equipped for that incredible work at a place that helps prepare them to offer themselves wholly to the care of others? Saint Anselm does this, and does it well. I want to make sure they can continue to for decades to come. If you feel the same way, please consider joining me in my support for this amazing project.

Ways to Support the Jean School of Nursing Campaign

Grappone Hall

Your generous contribution of any size can play a vital role in realizing our vision for the Jean School of Nursing & Health Sciences at Saint Anselm College. Grappone Hall will serve as a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to advancing nursing education and health sciences.

There are a number of spaces in Grappone Hall that are available to be dedicated in your name or in honor of someone special for gifts in the range of $10,000 or more. Contact Jennifer Williams, Campaign Director, at jwilliams@anselm.edu or 603-641-7214 for more information on naming opportunities.

Jean School Technology Maintenance Fund

Provide ongoing technology upgrades and the acquisition of innovative technology as it becomes available, ensuring that we can keep pace with the rapid advancements in healthcare technology. Our recent installation of new state-of-the-art resources in Grappone Hall is a significant step forward, and the Jean School Technology Maintenance Fund will enable us to continuously enhance these resources for our students. 

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous foundation, gifts of any size to the Jean School Technology Maintenance Fund will be matched, up to $500,000! This incredible opportunity allows us to maximize the impact of your support and offers you a unique chance to double the value of your gift.

Annual Scholarship in your name or in honor of someone special

Gifts of $5,000 or more annually may be used to fund scholarships that provide immediate financial support to Jean School students for the academic year and can be tailored to reflect specific criteria or needs. 

Contact Jennifer Williams, Campaign Director, at jwilliams@anselm.edu or 603-641-7214 for more information on establishing an annual scholarship and helping students achieve their educational dreams.

Endowed Scholarship in your name or in honor of someone special

Make a long-lasting impact by creating an endowed scholarship with gifts of $50,000 or more. Endowments are invested to provide ongoing funding for scholarships in perpetuity, ensuring future generations of students in nursing and health sciences can receive a quality education. 

Contact Jennifer Williams, Campaign Director, at jwilliams@anselm.edu or 603-641-7214 for more information on establishing an endowed scholarship and creating a legacy at Saint Anselm College.

Endowed Fund to Support Programs

Make a meaningful and enduring impact by establishing an endowed fund with gifts of $50,000 or more. These funds are invested to ensure that essential programs, resources, and initiatives within the school receive ongoing support for years to come, enriching the educational experience for generations of nursing and health sciences students. 

To learn more about establishing an endowed fund that aligns with your vision for healthcare education, please reach out to Jennifer Williams, Campaign Director, at jwilliams@anselm.edu or 603-641-7214. Together, you can contribute to the legacy of excellence at Saint Anselm College.

We asked ourselves, ‘What can we do that is truly important to the next generations of students?’ In our view, the School of Nursing and Health Sciences has everything to do with expanding the marketplace for liberal arts—and liberal arts is what Saint Anselm does best.
