Parents’ Fund

At Loyola College we take great pride in parent involvement in the success of Loyola and our students.  With the guidance of the Executive Council of Parents, for the past ten consecutive years, over 50 percent of Loyola parents made a gift to the College and even more notably, for the fourth consecutive year more than 60 percent contributed.

Through support of the Parents’ fund parents are enhancing not only their own child's experience but also investing in the value of every Loyola degree. They are also providing an important vote of endorsement for the College.  Gifts to the Parents' Fund at all levels serve to increase Loyola's parent participation rate, which remains a national benchmark for other colleges and universities.

Why contribute?

Tuition covers roughly 76 percent of a Loyola education. Funds from other resources such as gifts from parents, alumni and friends, and endowment income account for the remainder of the actual cost to educate each student. A significant part of the annual Evergreen Fund, the Parents' Fund provides critical resources for the educational initiatives that tuition alone does not cover, including curriculum development, technology upgrades and library resources.

Does my gift truly make a difference?

Yes! An important component of Loyola’s Jesuit-Catholic mission is to inspire students to learn, lead and serve in a diverse and changing world. A gift to the College not only serves as a vote of confidence in Loyola’s ability to succeed in this mission but also illustrates satisfaction to corporations and foundations. These organizations consider participation as an indication of active support for Loyola College and our mission when considering their own giving to the College.
