When You Start Your Monthly Gift Today, You’ll Join Yourself to a Community of Donors That Is Rebuilding the Church—One Life at a Time
For decades, our Church has faced a trend that can feel impossible to reverse: More Catholics are leaving the faith than joining it.
But we know where the battleground is. The hearts and minds of the next generation are being won or lost during their college years.
It’s why we feel a greater sense of responsibility when a student faces financial hardship. For 80 years, scholarships and aid have supported more than finishing a degree; they’ve made it possible for students to remain rooted in the sacramental life of this campus and finish their formation amongst faithful catholic educators and priests.
But we’ve realized that this life-changing support can’t continue if we rely on the same methods we have before.
That’s why, before the deadline of February 28, we’ve set an ambitious goal to find 100 donors who will begin a monthly gift to Franciscan University.
The timing of this effort is critical. As enrollment grows every year and 99% of students depend on financial aid at some point during their education, the truth is that it's becoming harder to plan for these unexpected needs—with student situations sometimes changing mid-semester.
But when you begin a monthly gift right now, no matter the amount, you’ll join a small community of supporters who have consistently removed these barriers for students and allowed them to continue their education and formation during the years it matters most.
If you believe rebuilding the Church must begin with the young men and women of the next generation, would you generously consider being one of the final monthly donors to step forward before midnight tonight?
As a thank you, every single donor who begins a monthly gift TODAY will receive a Franciscan University sport bag, alongside other benefits reserved for our monthly donors:
Access to some of our Faith & Reason content before anyone else
Exclusive updates and impact stories to see your generosity at work
And fewer fundraising requests throughout the year
We completely understand that this step may not be for everyone. But for many, monthly giving is an easy way to automate and budget your giving while letting it build toward greater impact.
More importantly, for many who’ve experienced or witnessed the formation that takes place here on campus themselves, it’s a way to consistently support that same impact for young men and women 365 days a year.
Thank you so much for your generosity and consideration. Start your monthly gift today using the secure form below and our team will send your Franciscan sport bag as a welcome gift!
