The Annual Fund is the heart or the fund of here and now at the University of Dubuque.  Each year gifts to the Annual Fund provide:  

• financial resources to attract a diverse and talented group of students
• necessary funds to offset the difference between tuition and the actual cost of a UD education
• financial resources to provide scholarships
• financial resources for facilities, programs, and technology that enhance the academic experience
• funds to attract and retain a strong, competitive faculty and staff

Why your gifts make a difference?

• It enhances the lives of students - financially, academically, and culturally
• Tuition only covers 55% of the cost of education at UD
• The number of donors not the funds collected demonstrates to foundations and corporations that alumni, faculty/staff, businesses and individuals invest in the mission and vision of UD
