Given the age and consistent use of the Daniel House over the years, the university is embarking on a major renovation and house improvement project to help restore its history and ensure it is accessible to students for years to come. The project will also entail developing a plan to make better use of the home’s resources so that more students can be accommodated and most rooms can host dual purposes.

The Daniel House is so important to our university and Samford students’ development that it is key for Daniel House alumni to be involved. As part of the Forever Samford campaign, fundraising efforts are targeted at significant Daniel House renovations. To meet this goal, the university along with alumni are identifying “Daniel House Champions”, former inhabitants of the home who are reaching out to their cohorts to lead encourage giving to the renovation project.

Daniel House Champions will focus on reuniting their study abroad cohort groups to help fund parts of the house most meaningful to them. As a team, making small recurring gifts will make significant differences and solidify their cohort’s mark on the home. For instance, a group of five making monthly gifts of $83.00 or a group of ten committing to $50.00 a month for five years will fund the remodel of a bedroom or sitting room. This comes with an opportunity to name the room for a cohort, or a friend or mentor, leaving that history in the home forever.
