Gift by gift
Creighton’s story began with a visionary act of philanthropy — when Mary Lucretia Creighton made a gift of $200,000 to start a Jesuit, Catholic university in Omaha. More than 140 years later, our story continues, donor by donor, gift by gift.
You can keep Creighton thriving. You can support the University and our students through gifts to scholarships, academics, programs, mission and improvements to our campuses in Omaha, Phoenix and Hastings.
Every gift matters. Every gift, no matter the size, adds up to something great. You can make a difference today!
Why I give
"My Creighton education itself is why I choose to give to Creighton. With the University's Jesuit tradition and emphasis on reflection, you can't come to Creighton without thinking about what your contribution to the world should be. That makes it so unique. And it makes me want to continue supporting Creighton."
— Nikki Rieck, BSW’94, Creighton Fund donor
