Welcome

Thank you for making your first gift to Loyola University Chicago! By making a gift to Loyola, you have joined an extraordinary community of philanthropic supporters that increase our ability to serve and educate students from all backgrounds, preparing them for lives and careers in service of others.  

Giving at Loyola turns generosity into opportunity, achievement, and transformation. Your gift opens doors for students, advances faculty discovery, and strengthens the entire Loyola community. We are honored that you have chosen to support Loyola and hope you for continued partnership in the years to come.  

Leadership Giving

The Damen Society, named after Arnold J. Damen, S.J., is composed of leadership-level supporters who advance Loyola with annual gifts of $2500 or more. Through their generosity, members of the Damen Society sustain and accelerate our mission of providing a transformative Jesuit education grounded in learning, leadership, and service.  

Arnold Damen, S.J. was the founder and first president of St. Ignatius College, now known as Loyola University Chicago. His determination to create a visible Jesuit presence in Chicago is reflected directly in Loyola’s mission-driven growth and success. When you become a part of the Damen Society, you join a community of leaders who uphold our Jesuit tradition of excellence in education. We invite you to learn more about the Damen Society and the impact of leadership giving. 

Monthly Giving

Becoming a Sustainer is easy, convenient, and secure. Sustainers make ongoing credit or debit card gifts to Loyola on a monthly basis. Recurring giving provides dependable funding for schools and programs while minimizing fundraising costs, so gifts can directly support Loyola students. Learn more about monthly giving.
