Thank a Donor Day is an annual tradition when the DePaul community gets an opportunity to express gratitude for the generosity of the donors who support DePaul.

 

Each year, hundreds of students take time out of their busy schedules to stop, write a quick note of thanks and think about how their everyday DePaul experiences are made better by the generous alumni and friends who make the choice to support our university. Especially this year, during Now We Must: The Campaign for DePaul's Students, donors are making a tremendous difference in the lives of DePaul students.

 


Donors' Impact on DePaul


DePaul donors—a community of alumni, faculty, staff, parents, friends and students (yes, students!)—help make the DePaul experience possible. Donors help fund scholarships that lower the cost of tuition, support emergency assistance grants that help students facing job loss, assist schools and colleges in hosting industry leaders for lectures and conversations in the classroom, provide extra funds for student groups and more. Donors touch every part of your DePaul experience. Last year:

Almost 12,000 donors gave over $60,000,000 to DePaul


Donors provided almost $10,000,000 in scholarship funds


Donors helped fund more than 800 student emergency assistance grants because of COVID-19
