Annual Giving
At the School of Law, we rely on the generosity of our alumni and friends to provide a high-quality legal education to our students. Alumni participation in annual giving is now more important than ever: your gift is a vote of confidence in our school, demonstrating that alumni are invested in the future of Loyola Law and that you support our leadership and direction.
Many of our donors choose to give to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, an unrestricted fund which Dean Michael Kaufman uses to meet the daily needs of the school. Where does this money go? We use these donations every fiscal year to fund student and faculty research, merit scholarships, fellowships, student activities, legal clinics, and loan repayment programs for alumni serving in public interest fields. Unrestricted gifts also allow the Dean to seize new and innovative opportunities and remain nimble in the ever-evolving legal education space.
Help us ensure the future of the School of Law by making your annual gift today. Any gift, regardless of size, is a vote that you believe in Loyola's School of Law.
