Giving Tuesday
ASU-Beebe's Giving Tuesday Initiative
Arkansas State University-Beebe is inviting alumni, employees, and community members to join this special global initiative by supporting the ASU-Beebe Student Emergency Hope Fund.
This isn't just a standard fund; it's a student-founded program that helps classmates facing unexpected hardships. The campaign has set an ambitious goal of raising $15,000 to help students overcome emergency financial obstacles that could prevent them from completing their education.
With many families and students feeling the effects of rising costs and economic uncertainty, ASU-Beebe anticipates an increase in student requests for emergency assistance. The Hope Emergency Fund allows the college to respond quickly, ensuring that students receive help when it matters most, making the difference between a student staying in school or dropping out due to a crisis. By giving, you are directly investing in a student's future and helping them reach their educational finish line.

Why Give?
When a student faces an unexpected financial crisis, the entire trajectory of their education is threatened. Since its inception, the ASU-Beebe Student Emergency Hope Fund has been the essential lifeline for students experiencing unforeseen and unavoidable challenges that threaten their ability to remain enrolled.
Your gift directly helps students overcome critical barriers, including:
Loss of Housing: Providing temporary assistance to keep a roof over a student's head.
Food Insecurity: Addressing hunger and ensuring basic needs are met. The Hope Fund also directly supports the ASU-Beebe Campus Food Pantry, which provides free meal and grocery assistance to students throughout the year.
Transportation Barriers: Offering assistance for unexpected car repairs, gas or transit costs that prevent students from attending class.
Unexpected Medical and Safety Needs: Covering emergency costs that, if left unpaid, would force a student to drop out.
Double Your Impact: The Matching Gift Challenge
This year’s campaign offers an incredible opportunity to double the impact of your generosity. We are thrilled to announce a matching gift from Robin and John Hayes, longtime friends and dedicated supporters of ASU-Beebe.
Their generous contribution will match community gifts dollar for dollar. This means your $50 gift instantly becomes $100, fueling twice as much emergency support for our students. By participating today, you ensure that every dollar you donate goes further to help a student reach their educational finish line.
