The Senior Fund was created in order to instill a culture of philanthropy while providing graduating seniors an opportunity to show their Zag pride and become a ZAG FOR LIFE!  As a senior, you are now invited to become part of the legacy and tradition that has made your Gonzaga experience possible by participating in Senior Fund 2011!

The Senior Fund is not about the amount of money given, but about participation from the current senior class. It is your opportunity to acknowledge those who have impacted your time at Gonzaga by actively supporting the GU community.

Give to what has inspired YOU.  Through the Senior Fund you have the choice to give to an area that you are most passionate about.  Whether it's your favorite department, club or activity that you participated in - YOU decide where to leave your mark!

2011 Senior Fund Options:

The Gonzaga Fund: The Class of 2011's main funding priority, this fund goes towards the areas of greatest need on campus. The purpose of the fund is to make changes that will enhance and improve the Gonzaga experience. This fund currently supports students through scholarships, retreats, student abroad programs, technology upgrades, and classroom equipment.

General Scholarship Fund: Over 95% of current GU student receive financial assistance. To show your appreciation to those who were so generous to fund your education, pay it forward and support the Senior Scholarship Fund so others can share in the Gonzaga experience.

Student Activities: Only part of education and growth occurs in the classroom, the other part comes from the activities and events students are involved in around campus. Gonzaga is committed to providing students with a wide range of opportunities that create a well rounded college experience. This fund will help to fund campus wide activities such as concerts, speakers and special events for all students to enjoy.

Diversity Programs: Your support can ensure that Gonzaga continues to create a more welcoming and diverse campus through the Summer BRIDGE program. Or, support the LEADS Program designed to encourage higher levels of retention and persistence to graduation, by empowering students with personal leadership abilities in every area of campus life.

University Ministry: Students often say that going on a retreat provides one of the most important and transformational experiences of their time at Gonzaga. You can ensure that this experience continues so that every student who seeks to deepen their faith has the opportunity to do so. Your support can make a significant difference towards the cost required for students to participate in GU retreats.

CCASL Mentoring Programs: Every year GU students provide over 100,000 hours of student volunteer service working with at-risk youth, the disabled, the elderly and others in need within the Spokane community and around the world. Help fund various projects throughout the year including: SMILE, Campus Kids, Shaw Connection, Little Bulldogs Basketball League, Mission Possible, and many others.

Green Fund: This fund helps to reduce Gonzaga's "eco pawprint" by funding campus improvements that make Gonzaga University more environmentally sound. Initiatives include switching regular light bulbs to energy-saving fluorescent bulbs, changing to low flow showerheads in the residence halls, and purchasing renewable energy through green tags.
