Annual Fund

What is the Annual Fund?

The Annual Fund provides much of the $10 million that North Park University distributes each year in scholarships and financial aid. Your contribution directly impacts deserving students every day. It is also an investment in North Park's unique mission and its strong academic programs. Gifts of all sizes matter and have great impact. Last year, gifts of $35 or less accumulated to $175,000! Every gift is significant and every donor is appreciated.

Why contribute to the Annual Fund?

Over 1,500 students- that's 85% of our student body- rely on financial aid and scholarship assistance to attend North Park University. Without your help, such students would not be able to realize dreams of higher education, and the number needing assistance is growing. Your gift makes a valuable and immediate difference in the lives of each of these 1,500 students.

How are Annual Fund gifts used?

All Annual Fund gifts are used to provide scholarships and financial aid for deserving students who otherwise would not be able to afford an education at North Park University.

When is the best time to make my gift?

Anytime. Your gift is so important to us and is needed at any time during the year. Remember that giving to North Park qualifies you for a charitable tax deduction.

Can I honor or memorialize someone with a gift?

Gifts can be made to honor or memorialize anyone you choose. Just specify the name of the individual when you make your gift.

Make a gift. Make a difference.
