Kinds of Gifts
Annual Giving
By establishing a recurring gift to the University, you ensure perpetual support for every JU student and faculty member by providing essential resources for a variety of expenses. Tuition only covers a portion of the actual cost of educating students. JU's Greatest Needs is the primary fund to support the tradition of annual giving at Jacksonville University. Annual or monthly contributions to JU's Greatest Needs help provide the additional revenue required to meet JU’s priority needs and are vital to enhance the University’s educational excellence.
Matching Gift Information
To encourage philanthropic giving by their employees many corporations will match what the donor gives to a non-profit. A corporate matching gift can double or even triple the value of your gift! To find out if your company matches gifts and how to have your gift matched, please contact your company's Human Resources office or use the search engine below. The impact of your gift to Jacksonville University may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses, so it is always best to check the policy of each company.
