The Foundation provides student programming through its Ignite Retreat and Fellowship, and we are in need of mentors, speakers, and facilitators. Learn more about our Student programming here.

The Foundation also offers alumni opportunities to serve on committees and alumni advisory groups which help to shape alumni involvement, alumni opportunities, and student programming impact. Learn more here.

Although the Foundation provides $1 Million dollars of support each year, there are students and schools that cannot afford to attend Sullivan Programming. Your support can make a difference for your school. Learn more here.
