Don’t Wait: Your Giving Tuesday Gift Can Be MATCHED, Dollar for Dollar—Forming Countless Students Spiritually and Academically!

At Franciscan University of Steubenville, we don’t only have a responsibility to educate students. We have a responsibility to form souls.

That’s why we’ve created an environment where students are immersed in the sacramental life of the Church—making the Mass part of their days, spending time in Eucharistic Adoration, receiving spiritual direction, and forming deep friendships rooted in Christ. All while pursuing academic excellence in the classroom.

But to continue this kind of formation, especially as our student body reaches record highs, we’re humbly asking for the help of alumni, friends, and donors of the University.

Providing this level of spiritual support requires real coordination, cost, and care. Today, what began as a mission to support Catholic students has grown into a full campuswide commitment to serve more than 2,800+ students with 26 Masses a week, over 600 confessions heard each week, 24/7 Adoration, weekly praise and worship, spiritual retreats, and so much more.

That’s why this Giving Tuesday is important. For just 24 hours, your gift can be DOUBLED by a $100,000 matching gift! That means your gift today will go twice as far, radically forming the next generation of joyful, faithful Catholic leaders

Plus, as a token of our appreciation, we’re offering the first 500 donors who give $75 or more a Franciscan University mug as a thank-you gift!

Because, while research overwhelmingly shows that college is the moment when most students walk away from their faith, the opposite is happening here at Franciscan University. And that’s entirely because of generous supporters like you, who make this formation possible.

• Helping us offer daily Mass to students every day of the academic year, including five liturgies each Sunday in the newly expanded Christ the King Chapel
• Providing the resources and coordination needed to hear over 600 confessions every week and ensure access to spiritual direction
• Supporting student retreats, praise and worship nights, 24/7 Eucharistic Adoration, and household devotions that nurture faith outside the classroom

This is where vocations are strengthened, Catholic leaders are formed, and young adults are sent into the world with the courage to live out their faith.

Will you make your Giving Tuesday gift before midnight tonight, so it can be matched dollar for dollar? As a thank you, the first 500 donors to make a gift of $75 or more will receive a special Franciscan University mug!

We are incredibly thankful for you. Your gift, no matter the amount, truly makes an eternal impact today. Use the secure form below to have your gift matched before 11:59 p.m. tonight.
