WHY YOUR SUPPORT IS CRITICAL

• Your support of Fordham is a recognition of the University’s rich history, a lifeline to its present and a necessary investment in its future.
• Your support helps to advance the Jesuits’ unique vision of rigorous scholarship and service to others, an endeavor now in its fifth century. It supplies scholarships for current students, funding to attract and retain the world’s best scholars, and capital to ensure that Fordham’s physical infrastructure provides the richest, most fulfilling educational and cocurricular experience possible. And it builds the University’s endowment, offering a base of fiscal stability and flexibility that will benefit students and faculty members for decades to come.
• Your support is also a clarion call to all students, faculty, administration, alumni, parents, friends, media and the public at large< that your belief in Fordham’s mission is matched by an unyielding desire to actualize that mission. That kind of signal serves to inspire others to make similar gifts.
• Your support comprises so much more than the amount of your gift. It includes the aspirations of the entire Fordham University community — now and for generations to come — to strive for more, to become men and women for others, and to work as hard as humanly possible for a better world.
