Established in 2020, LindenGiving is a community outreach endeavor focused on serving the most essential needs of our neighbors here in St. Charles. LindenGiving reflects the University values of thriving together and doing what is right.
Each initiative partners with a local non-profit organization and engages the campus community in support of the endeavor. LindenGiving is chaired by Mrs. Beverly Porter, Lindenwood UniversityÌÇÐÄvlogÊÓÆµ™s first lady, and led by a committee of campus leaders dedicated to serving others.
