Thank you for your interest in giving to the University of Dubuque!

Giving is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students as well as to strengthen the University in its mission. 

Students today are faced with mounting costs for higher education, and donors help to ease the financial obstacles as they partner with the University in providing for scholarships and other financial assistance.  The acquisition of state-of-the-art facilities and resources would be out of reach without the generosity of donors, and students would miss challenging and enriching opportunities.

In fact, tuition covers only half of the costs of higher education at the University of Dubuque, with the important difference being contributed by alumni/ae, friends, foundations and corporations.  Donors are significant partners in the achievements and the promising future of each student at UD.

Our mission is about students, today and in the years to come.  We work to find the best in students at the University of Dubuque.  To ensure the future of that mission, we are building resources that will provide a steady source of support for students through endowment gifts that are invested to provide scholarship and academic resources every year. Many of those gifts are given to the University through planned gifts, such as wills, trusts and charitable gift annuities.

Whether you are thinking of an annual contribution or a gift through your estate, whether your gift would be large or small, whether you wish to give cash, stock, or property, or whether you just want to gather information, we trust that these "giving pages" will be of help.

For further assistance, please give us a call or send an e-mail.
