YOU Can Make it Happen!

Loyola College aspires to provide educational excellence in the Jesuit Catholic tradition, educating men and women who will have a profound impact on society and the world. The College truly appreciates gifts of all sizes. We ask only for each alumnus to give in a way that is appropriate to his or her circumstances.  Please know that every gift is vital to our success.

Your gift to the annual Evergreen Fund impacts everything. It provides students with financial aid, allows Loyola to recruit and retain outstanding faculty, and creates additional opportunities to teach our students to lead, learn and serve.

Here are a just a few of the reasons to give to the annual fund!

• It’s a vote of confidence in Loyola College. When the people closest to the College participate in the annual fund, it speaks volumes about the value of the institution.
• You're helping students get a great education. Tuition only covers 76 percent of the total cost to educate each student. Your gift bridges that gap and provides direct funding for educational initiatives such as scholarships, technology upgrades, and library resources.
• It enhances the value of a Loyola degree.  Annual Fund gifts help to increase the alumni participation rate – the percentage of alumni giving a gift to Loyola versus all alumni. This percentage is a benchmark indicator of alumni satisfaction in rankings like U.S. News & World Report, which will directly influence top high school students’ decisions when choosing Loyola over other colleges and universities;
• You make a difference. Many companies and foundations base their decisions on where to distribute their six-figure gifts on alumni participation.
• It feels good. Every time you give, you rejoin a community of people who are grateful for what the College has given them, realize Loyola’s potential, and want to be part of its success.
