Be Inspired. Be Involved. Be More.
Campaign Goal: $250,000 | 100 Annual Givers
Campaign Overview
The Be+More Campaign is a 12-month fundraising initiative -- launching May 1, 2026 and running through April 30, 2027 -- inviting alumni, friends, and donors to come alongside Southwestern Adventist University in shaping a vibrant, Christ-centered student experience. Through unrestricted support to the Southwestern Fund, Be+More bridges the 2026 and 2027 academic years with continuous community investment. The campaign carries two primary goals: a $250,000 fundraising target and the recruitment of at least 100 new annual givers by April 30, 2027.
"When students experience excellence, belonging, and opportunity, they become leaders who change the world."

What Be+More Makes Possible
Campaign Priorities
Every gift flows to the Southwestern Fund and supports six core priorities — shaping every dimension of student life at SWAU.
Innovative academic and co-curricular programming that stretches students intellectually and equips them to lead.
Resources that foster belonging, wellbeing, and community — where every student feels known, supported, and called.
A residential experience that feels like home — building community that shapes character alongside competence.
Experiential and professional learning that connects students to vocation — preparing them to lead with purpose.
The physical environment that communicates, every single day, that this university takes its students seriously.
Bold, mission-driven initiatives that keep Southwestern at the forefront of Christ-centered education.
