Transform a Student’s Life

Gifts to Assumption — no matter the amount — help transform the lives of our students through our Catholic liberal arts education. Your support for Assumption could enable the University to construct new academic facilities, or provide students the opportunity to compete in an NCAA championship, attend a START Retreat, exhibit their artwork, conduct groundbreaking research and much more. Perhaps there is a specific area that you would like to support? If so, please let us know so that you, too, may begin providing new experiences and opportunities for our students.

How you can support Assumption students

  • The students of Assumption are especially thankful for the generous support of so many individuals who make an Assumption education possible.

    Every Gift Matters

    The Assumption Fund impacts every aspect of a student’s Assumption experience. Your gift will support:

    • Scholarships and financial aid
    • Undergraduate research opportunities
    • Equipment and technology
    • Performing and graphic arts
    • Athletic programs

    Your gift will mean a lot to Assumption students – and the University itself. Many corporations and foundations consider the percentage of alumni who participate in the Annual Fund as a gauge of alumni satisfaction with their alma mater. Your gift shows that you valued your Assumption experience. You are invited to make an online gift on the University’s secure online giving site.

  • The President’s Council is Assumption’s leadership giving society and is comprised of alumni, parents, and friends whose support of and commitment to Assumption University sets an example and inspires others.

    We invite you to join The President’s Council by making a gift of $1,500 or more to any fund at the University between June 1 and May 31 (the University’s fiscal year) to qualify for membership.

    President’s Council Associates
    President’s Council Associates are a special association of young alumni who are committed to becoming leadership donors at Assumption.  President’s Council GOLD membership is available on a sliding scale based on the year of graduation.  For Fiscal Year 2027 (June 1, 2026 – May 31, 2027) the membership levels are as follows:

    2026 & 2027 $100
    2025 $200
    2024 $300
    2023 $400
    2022 $500
    2021 $600

    2019 $800
    2018 $900
    2017 $1,000
    2016 (and prior) $1,500

    All President’s Council members are invited to events on campus throughout the year, including tailgate receptions prior to select home football games, and gatherings prior to other campus events. President’s Council members and President’s Council GOLD members are invited to an annual celebration.

    All President’s Council level gifts can be made through monthly or quarterly payments, and matching gifts from a donor’s employer count toward President’s Council membership.

     

  • Assumption University has many proud traditions, including the Senior Class Gift. Since 1991, seniors have raised more than $160,000 and left Assumption a better place for their contributions. As members of the Senior Class work together to give back to Assumption, everyone benefits.

    The Senior Class Gift campaign unites members of the Senior Class as they work together to give back to Assumption. The campaign also helps to promote class leadership. Seniors have been intimately involved with the University community for four years. Participation in this campaign demonstrates their commitment to Assumption and encourages them to become active alumni.
