This leadership gift, made in support of the Flagler Forward campaign, builds on his longstanding investment in the Fund and brings his total campaign giving to more than $150,000.
“The Flagler Fund represents what’s possible when we invest in our students, our faculty, and the future of this institution,” Delaney said. “I’m proud to support a vision that strengthens opportunity and ensures our College always has the necessary resources to meet its highest priorities.”
The Flagler Fund empowers the College to direct capital where it is needed most and respond swiftly to emerging opportunities across campus. This flexibility is central to advancing Flagler Forward, enabling the College to pilot new programs, close financial aid gaps for students, and enhance every dimension of the academic and co-curricular experience. It also sustains the preservation and stewardship of Flagler’s historic campus while fueling innovation that ensures the College continues to lead with purpose.
“I am thrilled that President Delaney chose to invest in Flagler with a significant gift above and beyond the contribution he makes each day through his visionary leadership,” said Kristy Myers, Vice President of Institutional Advancement. “His inspiring generosity over time is a testament to the Flagler Family’s commitment to continually improve our students’ quality of life and instruction, as well as our historic campus.”
Since becoming President in 2021, Delaney has advanced a bold and forward-looking vision for Flagler College. Initiatives like the 5-Star Plan and program launches such as the CORE Curriculum and the Biology major have raised the College’s academic profile while centering the student experience and long-term institutional growth. Additionally, Delaney’s tenure has seen the complete renovation of all Residence Halls, including Ponce Hall, preserving the building’s historic character while elevating its functionality for today’s students.
Under President Delaney, Flagler has also built strong momentum through the Flagler Forward campaign, which has raised more than $80 million to date and aligned philanthropic support with the College’s highest priorities. He continues to emphasize the importance of directing resources where they can have the greatest impact, ensuring that investments support student retention and success, institutional resilience, and strategic growth. This focus on purpose-driven progress will position the College for sustained success well into the future.
