Your Gift Forms Faithful Catholics Who Will Boldly Live Out Their Faith and Sanctify the World

    The Catholic Church is facing a spiritual crisis with global consequences. According to a 2025 Pew Research study, for every one person who enters the Church, eight Catholics leave it. And these numbers represent more than individuals drifting from the sacraments or losing their faith. They point to something deeper: a world with fewer messengers of the Gospel. 

    At Franciscan University of Steubenville, we believe these trends will only be reversed by raising up the next generation of Catholic leaders. Men and women who are excellent in their fields, grounded in unshakable spiritual formation, and prepared to bring Christ wherever they go.

    But we can’t do this alone. Right now, 90% of our students depend on scholarships and financial aid. 

    Providing them with a faithful Catholic education—while continuing our outreach through Steubenville Conferences, the Catechetical Institute, and our growing library of free digital resources—depends entirely on the generosity of people like you. When you make a gift to Franciscan University, your impact comes alongside young men and women during the four pivotal years when their faith is most likely to be either deepened for life or lost entirely.
    • Your gift provides students with faithful Catholic education and formation that lasts a lifetime, preparing them to lead with courage and sanctify the world.
    • Your gift sends out the next generation of Catholic leaders, ready to live their faith in science, education, law, business, ministry, and the arts.
    • Your gift makes Steubenville Conferences possible, helping over 40,000 youth and adults each year encounter Christ, renew their faith, and leave equipped to share the Gospel.
    • Your gift supports free, high-quality Catholic resources, empowering Catholics everywhere to grow spiritually and respond to today’s challenges with clarity and confidence.
    If you believe our Church and our world need more Catholics who know the truth, live the faith, and boldly share Jesus, will you make your gift to Franciscan University today?
