Arts & Culture
The importance of the arts in developing well-rounded students cannot be overstated. Funding for the arts supports community programs that raise the next generation of artists, provides access to DU’s rich library and archives, and explores new public performance opportunities.
Athletics & Recreation
The Denver Pioneers have fielded athletic teams since 1867. There’s much to celebrate and support within this program, with multiple championship wins, student athletes competing on NCAA teams and more than 30 club and intramural sports.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Invest in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. We have gathered all of the gift funds that support our DU community members in the effort to create a more inclusive DU.
Research, Innovation & Sustainability
Our commitment to research, innovation and sustainability is vital as we move into an increasingly connected world. The ability for students to objectively evaluate world challenges from a research-oriented framework becomes essential. Your support provides access to professional development grants, STEM programs and the Innovation Floor Makerspace, and provides the opportunity for students to practice sustainability.
Student Support & Experiences
There are many hurdles to navigate in a new collegiate and graduate experience. We provide avenues to ensure student success and persistence regardless of learning styles, finances or background. A student’s relationship with the campus and community has a profound effect on their overall success within and beyond the University. Gifts in support of student experiences provide resources for programs that provide an inclusive and accessible campus that helps all students thrive, from its buildings and residential programming to its traditions.
