Give the way that works for you!
Maximize with matching
Opportunities like year-end Twice as Nice and Zags Give Day gift-matching double your donations so your generosity at any amount goes even further for Gonzaga University and its students.
Every donation amount counts
There's no gift too small when it comes to showing that Gonzaga University matters to you. Your gift combines with others from Zag Nation to make a big difference for students (if every living member of the GU community gave $1 today, it'd add up to over $140,000).
Join Gonzaga's Leadership Circle
Membership in Gonzaga's Leadership Circle is bestowed on those who give $1,500 or more between June 1 and May 31 (Gonzaga's fiscal year). Leadership Circle gifts make up 70% of the annual funds supporting students, making the University less tuition-dependent, and reducing student debt.

Each year, Gonzaga's Annual Fund Champions' gifts are leveraged as matching or challenge opportunities to inspire greater support for students and initiatives. Contact us to learn more about fueling the future for Gonzaga University.

Why give to Gonzaga's annual funds?
99% of Gonzaga students rely on financial aid to make their education a reality. The scholarships and grants from annual funds help the University provide what students need. Plus, not every expense can be planned for in advance. That's why it's important for Gonzaga to have a "refillable bucket" of funds on hand that it can use to immediately respond to the needs of students, faculty, staff, and University operations. Donations to these annual funds make a tremendous difference in helping the University keep its Jesuit education distinctive and accessible, no matter what a student's financial situation may be.
