What is Axe of Kindness Month?

Axe of Kindness Month is a student-led fundraising campaign that connects student groups and organizations to the NAU Foundation’s crowdfunding platform, Jacksfunder. The Foundation’s goal through this initiative is to inspire philanthropic engagement by educating and involving students in the fundraising process. Axe of Kindness Month highlights student-driven efforts to expand access to leadership, involvement, and growth opportunities across the Lumberjack experience. 

So how do you get involved and support our Jacks?
