The Presidential Impact Fund
The Presidential Impact Fund was established by the Board of Trustees to recognize and honor outgoing President Gregory G. Dell’Omo’s significant contributions to Rider University. A source for unrestricted support, the Presidential Impact Fund will provide the University with the flexibility necessary to ensure we are able to address and adapt to various, high-priority needs and apply resources as they are most needed across campus.
Through this effort, more than $500,000 has already been raised in honor of President Dell'Omo and his many accomplishments. In support of this year's Day of Giving, please join us in contributing to this important initiative!
Transforming Students - Transforming Lives
Among his many achievements, one of the
most significant has been President Dell’Omo’s stewardship of Rider’s
largest fundraising campaign ever, Transforming Students - Transforming
Lives. After achieving the record-breaking $80 million goal,
the goal was increased to $100 million with the intention of completing
the campaign by the summer of 2025. At more than $96 million raised thus far,
achieving this goal is well within reach. Contributions to the
Presidential Impact Fund will play a vital role in helping the
University mark this historic milestone.
