Giving to Butler
Your gifts fuel our mission.
At Butler University, we are committed to preparing all learners to lead meaningful lives. When you give to Butler, you are creating life-changing opportunities for future generations of students.
Since our founding in 1855, many generous donors have paved the way for the Butler University we know today through meaningful investments of time, talent, and treasure. Giving back has always been part of The Butler Way. In the Office of University Advancement, we are honored to match the Butler community’s philanthropic interests with University needs in support of Butler’s mission and strategic direction.
As we aim to fulfill Butler’s mission to “boldly innovate” and “broadly educate,” we are seeking philanthropic support for three key objectives: creating access for all learners, providing an excellent student experience, and enriching communities.
With these objectives in mind, the areas listed below represent our current top giving priorities. I invite you to explore the pages below or contact our office to learn more about how you can make an impact through your philanthropic giving. Thank you for joining in our mission through your gifts.
