Leadership Circle

For generations, students have been able to receive a well-rounded Catholic education from Gonzaga University because of the generosity of people just like you.

Gonzaga University Leadership Circle

 


 

What is the Leadership Circle? 

Zags who make donations totaling $1,500 or more over the course of an academic year are members of the Leadership Circle. 

Leadership Circle gifts make up 70% of the annual funds supporting students, making the University less tuition-dependent, and reducing student debt.

Some people direct their gift(s) to a specific school, college or named scholarship — all wonderful ways to make an impact. But when you make your Leadership Circle gift toward unrestricted funds, you know that your gift has helped to support everything at Gonzaga, including its students' unrestricted future.

Leadership Circle members receive exclusive invites to Gonzaga campus events, lectures and student meet-and-greets.

It starts with YOU. Your Leadership Circle membership is a critical investment that helps Gonzaga students become the ethical leaders our world needs most.

Your Leadership Circle membership can hold the final piece of the puzzle to help students say "yes!" to their Gonzaga education. 

  • Your unrestricted support can help the Gonzaga community continue the pursuit of its mission even in the face of uncertainty. Your Leadership Circle membership can provide personal protective equipment, critical technology updates like cameras and equipment to accommodate delivery of Gonzaga's uniquely Catholic, Jesuit, and humanistic experience anywhere in the world.
