DAF (Donor-Advised Funds)
A donor-advised fund offers a flexible and tax-efficient way to support Creighton. You can recommend a grant from your fund at any time and direct your gift to the area that matters most to you.
Donor Engagement Center
Through the Donor Engagement Center, alumni, parents and friends can make a gift online or over the phone while learning more about Creighton's students and priorities. Every conversation helps strengthen connections and support the University's mission.
Endowed funds
Endowed funds create a permanent source of support for the area of Creighton that matters most to you. Your gift is invested to provide funding year after year, helping future generations of students thrive.
Matching gifts
You can double and even triple your gift to Creighton through your employer’s matching gift program. Many employers will match charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees. Find out if your company has a matching gift policy.
You may also request a matching gift form from your employer and submit the completed form with your gift to Creighton. We’ll take it from there!
