“
Although I have been a regular financial supporter of Moravian, in December 2023, the passing of my wife, Matilda Chase, was a guiding force in me establishing the James ’76 and Matilda Chase Endowed Scholarship Fund at Moravian University and Theological Seminary. It was a very smooth and effortless process to do so, and I encourage others to consider ways to support future students.”
—JAMES CHASE ’76
