The Golden Lanyard Giving Program
Coming Fall 2024 is the beginning of the Ferris State University Golden Lanyard Faculty and Staff Giving Program! The Golden Lanyard is a symbol of your commitment to empowering students and inspiring success through your philanthropic support.
It's easy to get involved and participate. Simply make a gift using any of the options described on this page. Faculty and Staff who contribute financially to support Bulldog students will receive a golden lanyard acknowledging their generosity. This program is evergreen, growing alongside your support of scholarships, programs, and everything that makes the Ferris State University experience special.
The Ferris Foundation is excited to acknowledge and further develop the legacy of Faculty and Staff support at Ferris State University. As the program grows, pins denoting increased levels of support or participation in campus initiatives will also be provided. Thank you for your commitment to the next generation of Bulldog leaders each and every day.

As a Ferris State employee, you are privileged to see the growth of our students every day. We are providing you this opportunity to show your extended investment in students by making a monetary gift. By committing to give as little as $3 each pay period, you pledge to assist students year-round.
