Corporate and Foundation Giving

As a nationally recognized university, Loyola College receives substantial financial support from corporations and foundations across the region and country. These gifts - whether matching alumni employee contributions or funding vital projects such as scholarships, buildings or faculty-initiated programs - provide a key measure of Loyola's success in offering the best possible education and its growing reputation among the leading Jesuit universities in the nation.

Faculty also receive an impressive level of support for their research and service projects by seeking grants from private and federal funding sources. To date, the current active grant portfolio is more than $10 million. To find out more about the Department of Grants Services, click here.

Last Year's Giving Results

More than $3 million in commitments from corporations and foundations came in last year, most notably a $1 million grant from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. This award will fund an innovative program designed to train recent Loyola graduates to serve as Advisors focused on helping high-achieving, low-income high school students attain college or university educations. Other significant corporate and foundation commitments included a $250,000 gift from Merritt Properties, LLC, a leadership gift that will support the Loyola Clincal Centers' efforts to provide psychological, educational and speech-language/audiology services to lower-income families. The Clinical Centers also received a $25,000 commitment from the Macht Philanthropic Fund of the Associated Jewish Charities and a $15,000 award from the John J. Leidy Foundation, Inc.

Corporate Receptions

One of Loyola's greatest strengths is its vast network of undergraduate and graduate alumni who hold leadership positions in the regional business community. To strengthen and expand that network, Loyola annually plans several receptions at selected area corporations, bringing together Loyola-affiliated employees working at top corporations and the College's major partners.  Attendees have the opportunity to network with each other, hear updates on Loyola from Fr. Linnane and learn more about their company's partnership with Loyola from their CEO. To find out more about the Corporate Reception program, click here.
