CELEBRATE THE IMPACT OF PHILANTHROPY! 

VWD24, our 7th annual day of giving, is an opportunity for the Viking community to celebrate the impact of philanthropy. Join us in the spirit of generosity to create a bright future for Salem State University and our students.

2023 was our most historic day of giving yet as Salem State officially launched a transformational $75 million comprehensive campaign called Meet the Moment™, which combines deep investments in student success with the revitalization of our campus. To learn more about the Meet the Moment™ campaign, visit salemstate.edu/moment.

Be a Viking Warrior for Salem State's current priorities, scholarships, or student support by making a gift now!
