Our Generous Donors

Dear Members Of The Immaculata University Community,

Susan Arnold

With grateful thanks to our generous donors, we close fiscal year 24/25 (July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025) on a very prosperous note. The Immaculata Fund received over $1.36M in support of our students, which combined with restricted donations and contributions to the Endowment, closes FY24/25 with donations exceeding $6.095M!

Philanthropy at Immaculata is thriving! In addition to exceeding the FY24/25 unrestricted fundraising goal, we exceeded all goals for the Charter Day of Giving (raising over $213,000 from 429 donors) for the second consecutive year. The past year saw 214 first-time donors, 1,217 alumni donors (alumni participation was 6%), and 312 Lanterns of Love, which adorned the 2024 Christmas display. Of special note, 56 members of the Class of 2025 made gifts through the Commencement Class Giving initiative, which raised over $1,500 for The Immaculata Fund this year—a good sign of future donors.

As you read in President Lettiere’s letter, Immaculata University is thriving with record student enrollment. This is wonderful for IU but comes with a demand for additional on-campus residential space. The University is fortunate to have received Gillet Hall from the IHM Congregation, which is being converted for student use and housing. We look to you, as individuals invested in Immaculata’s future, to assist with this very important project. Please take a moment to learn how you can help.

Throughout the year we provide many opportunities for you to participate in supporting Immaculata, offering donation avenues that best meet your philanthropic preferences. For some, donations are made on the Charter Day of Giving, by purchasing raffles for the Golf Invitational, processed as matching gifts with an employer, or through designating Immaculata as a recipient of an RMD distribution. However you choose to support Immaculata, know that by making a gift meaningful to you—in any amount—you become a collective part of all donations which combine to provide an impactful experience for IU students.

On behalf of Immaculata University’s students, faculty and staff, we extend our sincere gratitude to those who have loyally supported Immaculata. We hope your support demonstrates to all alumni that “Together We THRIVE” and inspire others to also make Immaculata their philanthropic priority!

Gratefully,

Susan W. Arnold
Vice President for Institutional Advancement
