SALISBURY — Livingstone College has received a $1 million donation from an anonymous donor for the third time in less than 180 days, according to an announcement made by President Dr. Anthony J. Davis on Monday.

The previous two $1 million donations were also made by the same anonymous donor, with the first being received during the college’s homecoming celebrations last fall and the second announced during the college’s 145 Founder’s Day program in February. Those donations are a testament to the legacy of Livingstone College and the impact it has on the community.

The third unrestricted donation will continue to support the work being executed on campus. The hope is that it will inspire other members of the community to support Livingstone College’s mission and vision and give to the college in the future, knowing that their contributions are instrumental in the college’s success.

As previously shared by Dr. Davis, these donations will not only provide a significant boost to the institution’s ongoing mission to educate, equip and empower students to compete and contribute in a global context with confidence and competence, but they also underline the crucial role of philanthropy in our journey. They continue to expand scholarship opportunities for current and future students, making a tangible difference in their lives.
