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.

For the Ambitious

Quinnipiac has launched the first comprehensive fundraising campaign in our history! Titled “For the Ambitious, A Campaign for the Next Century,” this $160 million initiative looks towards the University’s centennial in 2029, and celebrates our legacy of achieving new possibilities. 

“We are launching a historic undertaking that will enable us to continue to fuel the ambitions of the change-makers, world-shakers and mold-breakers,” said Nick Wormley ’00, MBA ‘02, vice president for alumni and development. Your students are the reason we strive to always do more.  

Head to ambitious.qu.edu to learn more about our campaign vision, priorities, and commitment to our community.
