Accept the Challenge

Make an impact on Catholic University students and drum up excitement among your peers: Participate in an active or upcoming giving challenge by making a gift and spreading the word on social media.

Reunion Class Challenges

Through the end of 2019, add your name to the 2019 Reunion Alumni Honor Roll and help your reunion class win one of the inaugural reunion cups.

Senior Class Gift

Before graduation in May 2020, add your name to the Class of 2020 Honor Roll and help your senior class reach a 50% participation rate. This year, your support helps fund the Class of 2020 Impact Scholarship.

The Fund for Catholic University

You don't need to wait for a challenge: Donating to the annual fund is one of the most powerful ways you can make an impact on Catholic University. Make your gift now to give the University the flexibility it needs to act when opportunities arise — or needs surface.
