The Fund for LMU
Our Annual Fund, The Fund for LMU, consists of undesignated gifts, which LMU utilizes for current year use, much like a check book. Tuition covers only a part of the cost of an LMU education. And, unlike some of our peers, LMU's endowment currently does not generate the income required to meet the immediate needs of our students. Gifts to The Fund for LMU allow the University to maximize opportunities and address our most pressing needs, ensuring LMU is meeting the ever-growing requirements of a 21st century education. Please help us honor our past as we build our future -
make your gift today . LMU's giving year begins June 1 and runs through May 31 of every year.
Why give?
Every gift has the power to have an impact. Individually and collectively, your gifts enable us to provide students with irreplaceable educational experiences that shape their dreams and set them on the path to lifelong success. Your donation helps build state-of-the-art facilities, support unique student opportunities and finance the research grants that attract our exceptional faculty. Charitable donations of all sizes ensure that LMU remains a premier Catholic Institution.
Does my gift to The Fund for LMU count towards the Campaign for LMU?
Yes! Every gift made to The Fund for LMU also adds to our campaign gift total. Since giving today will help both LMU’s annual fund AND the Right Place. Right Time. Campaign for LMU, there’s no better time to start a habit of giving annually to the university.
Participate. Designate. Make a difference.
The Fund for LMU provides complete flexibility in where you direct your gift and how you choose to give. We encourage you to give to your favorite LMU school or program, as these gifts are often the only source of discretionary funds available to deans and directors to respond to unforseen opportunities and needs.
There are 1,012 different programs, organizations and departments that you may support at LMU. To help narrow down your favorite, please see our listing of the
top 350 funds.
To give to your favorite LMU school or program, be sure to designate it on our
online giving form. If you'd like your money to go directly towards LMU's most pressing needs, we encourage you to designate your gift to "LMU's Greatest Needs."
