What is the Quinnipiac Family Fund?

The Quinnipiac Family Fund includes unrestricted and restricted gifts that provide the university with funding to support students and faculty.

Why is the Quinnipiac Family Fund vital to the university?

Support from parents makes an immediate impact on students and helps Quinnipiac to provide programs, such as:

• First-year seminars and experiences

• Common intellectual experiences

• Learning communities

• Writing-intensive courses

• Collaborative assignments and projects

• Undergraduate research

• Diversity education and global learning

• Service learning and community-based learning

• Student Life programs and services

• New and innovative opportunities to engage students outside the classroom

• Physical improvements such as firepits and an e-sports facility

• Student-led innovative community activities

Will my gift make a difference?

Participation is the cornerstone of the Quinnipiac Family Fund. Gifts, in any amount, generate additional resources for the university, and demonstrate support and enthusiasm for the education Quinnipiac provides. In turn, foundations, corporations and other funding organizations are motivated to support universities whose own communities invest heavily in the success and future of the institution.
