Nichols College March Match is Here - Let's Reach $280,000!
For 12 consecutive years, the Nichols community has stepped up and surpassed our March Match goal. That’s the power of Bison pride.
We are deeply grateful to Trustee John H. McClutchy Jr. ’72 for launching this tradition — and to another generous alumnus who is continuing it with a $100,000 challenge matching opportunity to inspire giving throughout March.
Last year, you helped raise more than $270,000 to support Nichols students. This year, we’re charging toward $280,000 — and every gift helps unlock additional support for scholarships, academics, experiential learning opportunities, and student life.
When the Nichols community comes together, opportunity grows.
No matter the size, your gift matters. Give to what means the most to you and help make this our strongest March Match yet.
Please note: Athletics gifts are not included in the March Match. A separate matching opportunity in September supports our student-athletes during their competitive seasons.
