How your gift makes a difference...
Just like baseball, success depends on teamwork, preparation, and showing up when it matters most. Your gift removes small financial barriers so our students can step confidently into careers serving children and families.
One Ball State Day gifts support initiatives like our Microgrant Program — offering mini-grants of $100 or less to help students cover common academic expenses.
