WE DID IT!

​Dear Timanous Family,

We’re thrilled to share the fantastic news that we surpassed all of our goals for the Second Century Campaign! It is even more gratifying that completing the campaign comes on the heels of a truly successful summer back at camp. Due to the abiding spirit and extraordinary generosity of our entire community, Camp Timanous will no doubt continue to thrive for another 100 years.

The original $5M campaign blueprint was designed to raise the $2.5M needed to acquire camp, establish a campership endowment, and build camp's financial capacity to pursue key capital projects. After pausing both camp and the campaign in 2020, we increased this goal to $7.3M in order to more fully realize our nonprofit vision.

With all of your help, we raised a total of $7,445,887!

Under the banner of Rise, Camp Timanous, we set aspirational goals for each of our main priorities. With tremendous success in this final phase, we exceeded each of these benchmarks, allowing us to:

• Achieve an even stronger financial position after navigating our 2020 closure
• Raise over $2.5M in donations and pledges for the Sandy Tattersall Fund campership endowment
• Create a culture of philanthropy through the Annual Campership Fund
• Grow the Timanous Fund to over $2.3M for greater financial resilience and the capacity to pursue future opportunities

​Five years ago, a small group of alumni formed the Timanous Foundation in order to preserve camp for future generations. So much has been accomplished since then: camp is operating as a nonprofit; alumni across all eras have never been more engaged; Garth Altenburg is starting his 4th year as camp’s Director; and access to the Timanous experience has already been greatly expanded. With all of these milestones, the fundamental mission remains: Timanous will continue to positively impact the growth of Body, Mind and Spirit for generations of campers to come.
