The Power of Your Philanthropy
When you make a gift, you make a difference. You change the world for our students.
Your Support Matters
A gift to the College is about much more than dollars.
Your support ensures that Holy Cross has the resources to be the best undergraduate, Catholic, Jesuit liberal arts college in the nation — graduating women and men who will use their education to bring about positive change in the world.

Faith and Service: Nurture our commitment to holistic personal formation – of mind, body, spirit and community. Living as men and women for and with others, Holy Cross provides programs steeped in the Catholic, Jesuit liberal arts tradition in the classroom, the chapel, the athletic fields and beyond.

Financial Aid: The most significant focus of the Holy Cross Fund and the highest philanthropic priority of the College remains student financial aid. If a student has been admitted to the College due to their exceptional talent, moral character and future promise, we believe that it is our obligation to ensure these students can attend, regardless of their income level.

Sustainability: Support today’s Crusaders in their efforts to build a more sustainable future by immediately putting your gift to use in ways that help continue to reduce the College’s carbon footprint.

Crusader Athletics Fund
The Crusader Athletics Fund (CAF) makes it possible for former athletes, parents and fans to support Holy Cross’ 27 varsity athletics programs. CAF provides resources to each program through sports-specific designations, which provide our student-athletes with the tools they need to compete at the highest level.

Get Involved in Parent Giving
Invest in Holy Cross
In addition to immediate use gifts, the College relies on major gifts and planned gifts to support institutional initiatives.
Major Gifts
Many alumni, parents and friends are inspired to support the College in an impactful way, while continuing to make their yearly gift to the Holy Cross Fund. If you are contemplating making such an investment in alma mater, we would love to help, and will work closely with you to match your areas of interest with the College's greatest needs.
Planned Gifts
Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support for Holy Cross and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning and philanthropic goals. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to the College.
I give to the College because I am grateful for the education I received and because I believe strongly in the importance of the Jesuit emphasis on the whole person and values such as community, cooperation and service. These values are what helps individual students build a meaningful life – one connected to those around them and beyond.
