It just takes a few CENTS to benefit the COMMON good!
The Common Cents Council is a student organization of dedicated students at the University of Memphis committed to raising awareness of philanthropy and giving among UofM students. The council has a goal to teach peers about the benefits of philanthropy, collect funds for student-centered campus projects, helping fund raise for the Senior Class Gift and inspire students to make an impact at the UofM.
We also serve as a student development board, assisting the Office of Annual Giving in raising awareness about the impact of private giving at The University of Memphis. Council members get a first-hand look at fundraising operations for the University and work actively with the development team on marketing campaigns, events, and other activities.
