Dillard University is a historically Black institution that cultivates leaders who live ethically, think and communicate precisely, and act courageously to make the world a better place.

On Tuesday, November 28, 2023, we will kick off our annual #GivingTuesday event, Dillard University Day of Giving, with a 24-hour online, social media-driven fundraising campaign. We invite you to be a part of this exciting transformation.

Our 2023 goal is to raise at least $1M to create a safer, healthy, and innovative environment for the entire campus community. This year, the university is focused on investing in three key priorities,

DU3: Facilities that withstand the forecast, Fortifying the faculty and staff, and Financing the future.

Fortifying Our Facilities to Withstand the Forecast:

Invest in Dillard the University's Emergency Sustainability Fund.

Impact: Dillard is the oldest HBCU in the State of Louisiana. While we are proud of our legacy of cultivating generations of leaders who have courageously impacted the world for over 150 years, we are also mindful of the aged infrastructure of our historic campus. Dillard's vision is to create living, learning, and serving communities for our students, faculty, staff, and New Orleans. Your donation will invest in enhancing the current infrastructure of campus buildings and assist in funding future developments.

Fortifying the Faculty and Staff:

Invest in Dillard University's Faculty and Staff Fortification Fund

Impact: Dillard faculty is at the forefront of cutting-edge research and innovation. Your support can contribute to groundbreaking discoveries, technological advancements, and scientific breakthroughs that have far-reaching impacts.

Finance the Future:

Invest in Dillard University's Fair Dillard Fund

Impact: With stellar academic curriculums and championship athletic programs, Dillard has cultivated leaders who live ethically, think and communicate precisely, and act courageously to make the world a better place. Our Fair Dillard Fund will ensure future DU world leaders can successfully write their legacies by removing financial barriers.

Your support, whether it's a one-time contribution or a recurring gift, is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for being a vital part of the Dillard University community. We look forward to counting on your support this #GivingTuesday.
