Overview
Join the Class of 2018 in giving back to the place you have called home over the past few years! The Philanthropy Committee and Office of Annual Giving invite you to participate in Campbell University’s very first senior giving campaign: the Senior Legacy. Senior class giving is a tradition at most prominent universities, and is intended to educate students on the importance of private funding and encourage student philanthropy.
A donation to the Senior Legacy campaign is a way to pave the way for the next generation of Campbell students. It is a chance to leave your legacy by choosing the area of Campbell you would like to support. Please consider giving $20.18 to the area of Campbell that has meant the most to you.
Benefits of Giving
By contributing to the Senior Legacy, you can:
- join the philanthropic efforts of Campbell University supporters
- help provide an education to future Campbell students, regardless of their financial means
- show gratitude for the experiences and opportunities you’ve had at Campbell that were made possible by the philanthropic efforts of those who came before you
- fulfill the Campbell University mission by leading with purpose and leaving a legacy that enables future students to benefit from a Campbell education
Additionally, students who give will have access to the following incentives:

Frequently Asked Questions
I already pay tuition, so why should I give more?
Did you know that your tuition only covers a portion of your college experience? Although this is a vital source of funding for the university to be able to carry out operations, think about the parts of your education and Campbell University that are funded by the gifts of donors: scholarships, buildings, athletics, academic programs, and much more! Giving a special gift to the university represents your dedication to paving the way for future generations of Campbell students.
Will my contribution even make a difference?
Absolutely! Philanthropy and giving are factors that publications like the U.S. News & World Report use to rank colleges and universities. As Campbell climbs in the rankings, the more esteemed we become, and the value of your degree increases.
How much should I give?
While we encourage you to consider giving $20.18, we gladly accept gifts of any size! Your participation and support is appreciated, so make a gift that is comfortable to you.
