The Office of Annual Giving supports the colleges and programs of Florida Atlantic University. Its purpose is to help the University meet its ongoing needs amid a changing statewide educational landscape. Gifts from alumni and friends support FAU’s mission to educate, research, serve and prepare.

As a public university, FAU receives approximately 36% of its budget from state appropriations.  Since financial support from state and federal sources has leveled, private support is essential to maintain and enhance the strength of the University.

In addition to academic opportunities, students from FAU benefit from a well-rounded educational experience.  Annual gifts provide students with:

• World Class Faculty
• Financial Aid and Scholarships
• Increased Student Services
• Enhanced Campus Environments
• Innovative Technological Resources
• Cultural and Performing Arts Programs
• Athletic and Recreational Activities

Unrestricted gifts allow FAU to benefit in the above areas, but annual gifts may also be designated to a specific college, department or program.  For more information about annual giving or to make a gift, visit the official Annual Giving Web site.
