What is Ruthmere Forever?

"Ruthmere Forever" is the principal repository for philanthropic support of Ruthmere Campus programs. 

NEW FOR 2024 - Starting in 2024 we are making one small but important change with Ruthmere Forever moving forward. We are asking our supporters to make ALL Ruthmere Forever gifts to the Ruthmere Forever Challenge Match Fund that supports our direct operational costs and also leverages community match options for upcoming grants applications. This is where your support can do the most good for our organization. 

• RUTHMERE FOREVER CHALLENGE MATCH IS A GAME CHANGER
• 1.     By making a Ruthmere Forever Challenge Match gift, your philanthropy will be leveraged in a variety of ways.  First your contribution is available and accessible for direct support of current programs.  In the past two years, nearly 25% of Ruthmere's operational support has come in the form of Ruthmere Forever Challenge Match gifts.
  
• 2.     A Challenge Match contribution is also designated at the time of your gift for optional use in the "Ruthmere Forever Challenge Match Pool," meaning that it can be utilized for the purpose of either public match support in grant applications or as "challenge matches" from community funding partners that support a wide variety of current Ruthmere Campus projects and programs.  Your generosity is fully leveraged!

When you participate with a Ruthmere Forever gift, you ensure that the history, art and culture that you have come to love at Ruthmere will continue for generations to come.
