Ways to Give

Your generosity keeps ӰAV shining bright!

It’s through that generosity that ӰAV continues to shine as a leader in preparing graduates who shape their professions, serve their communities, and make a difference in the world. For all the reasons you call yourself a Star, we invite you to consider a gift that supports the excellence and tradition of ӰAV.

Fuel ӰAV’s mission with an annual gift that supports students, faculty, and programs across campus. Supporting the ӰAV Fund is a wonderful way to provide broad support to the University and all the things that keep ӰAV going strong. Every gift, no matter the size, is a reminder to ӰAV students that you are invested in their future.

Bright Society is comprised of all alumni, friends, and corporate partners who actively contribute $1,000 or more annually for three years to the President’s Excellence Fund or the ӰAV Fund. Gifts to the President's Excellence Fund enable ӰAV’s president to address urgent university-wide priorities and invest in initiatives that enhance the student experience. Members in the All-Star category and above may restrict half of their annual investment to scholarship support in a specific school or athletics.

When you create an endowment at ӰAV, you have the opportunity to shape its purpose—whether supporting scholarships, faculty, programs, or areas of greatest need. Endowments may also be used to sustain an annual gift, providing reliable support for generations to come. With a minimum gift of $25,000 (payable immediately or over five years), your fund becomes a lasting tribute that can bear your name or honor someone meaningful to you. Our team will work with you to establish an agreement that ensures your wishes are met and that your gift strategically advances ӰAV’s mission of scholarship and service.

Many companies—including some national and international employers—will match gifts from current employees or retirees, allowing alumni, parents, and friends to easily increase the impact of their personal contributions. By taking advantage of a matching gift program, your donation can be doubled or even tripled at no additional cost to you.

Your support as an ӰAV employee helps students, strengthens academic programs, and ensures the University’s continued success. You can direct your gift to the fund of your choosing and give in a variety of ways. Every contribution—no matter the size—makes a meaningful difference.
