School and College Funds

School and college funds support the most pressing needs and essential components of a Creighton education across all fields and disciplines.

No ordinary education 

Graduates leave Creighton committed to service and infused with a desire to seek more. That's the Creighton experience.

It’s an experience that endures thanks to the tremendous faculty and staff across our nine schools and colleges. The professors who change our students’ lives. The mentors who helped our alumni become who they are today.  

You can help us carry forth this tradition of life-changing education by supporting Creighton’s fundraising campaign Forward Blue and making a gift to the general fund of your school or college. 

Make a gift to your school or college

School and college funds support the most pressing needs and essential components of a Creighton education across all fields and disciplines — leadership development, faculty excellence, research opportunities and so much more.

Forward Blue

Forward Blue is the largest and most comprehensive fundraising campaign in Creighton’s history. It celebrates the University's mission by raising funds to ensure that mission endures. 

Serving our students first 

In past surveys, graduating seniors and alumni said the strongest aspects of their Creighton experience were smaller class sizes, access to faculty/staff and the overall sense of community. 

Our faculty and staff have the time and space to focus on teaching and serving our students first. We give our students a markedly more personalized education, through smaller class sizes — an 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio — and the programs and services that help them flourish. That's what you're supporting.

The Creighton difference

Our students are the leaders of tomorrow. They're the women and men transformed by a Jesuit education made possible by your faith, generosity and commitment to Creighton.
