Your financial support has a much greater impact on Immaculata University than you think!
Alumni, parents and friends of Immaculata have the power to make a vital and lasting impact on the University. Your support is an essential resource enabling us to provide an extraordinary educational experience for students, and alumni participation in The Immaculata Fund plays a significant role in many areas.
What is Alumni Participation?
Alumni participation is the percentage of alumni who give back in the form of a financial donation to their alma mater. Each year Immaculata University strives to reach a minimum of 6.5% participation from our alums, and quite honestly, this can be a challenge. We are fortunate to have the support of dedicated class agents and the Alumni Board of Governors who create awareness of the need for alumni participation.
We often hear alums share how their time at Immaculata University played a significant role in their lives and how much the University means to them. IU is a wonderful place, where memories are made, knowledge is imparted and personal growth becomes a reality. This is all made possible through the generous support of our donors who provide the financial aid, tools and facilities to inspire success every day. We need the assistance of all alumni to reach our fundraising goals of $1,100,000 for The Immaculata Fund in fiscal year 2024–25, and we encourage you to make a gift of any amount today. Together we are MIGHTY!
