Giving Tuesday 2024

It's Giving Tuesday! Join together with the CBU Community to raise $55,000 today! Make a gift to CBU Forward to the area of campus that means the most to you and show your support for Lasallian Education here in Memphis! With five main categories for giving — Academic Enrichment, Scholarships, Campus & Facilities, Athletics, and Student Life — there is no limit to the ways you can be involved. Any gift, big or small, makes a difference and helps move CBU forward.

You can direct your support to any area of campus through the five areas of support below or you can leave your gift undesignated so it can go to the area of most support.

CBU Forward: Academic Enrichment

A well-rounded education includes more than just lectures and classrooms. By making a gift to CBU Forward: Academic Enrichment, you can help provide more educational opportunities for students, which might include academic research, conferences, competitions, publications, and study abroad. You can also choose to support the Plough Library by providing funding for library books or periodicals, or you can assist students in achieving valuable career insights through internships and services provided by our Career Services counselors.

CBU Forward: Scholarships

At CBU, 99% of our students receive some form of financial aid. Our mission is to make a high-quality Lasallian education available to all by making that education affordable and accessible. Supporting scholarships through CBU Forward: Financial Aid will give students the opportunity to focus on their education without worrying about tuition or student debt. With a variety of programs currently available, you can contribute to specific scholarships or general scholarship funds — or you can endow your own scholarship!

CBU Forward: Campus and Facilities

Our students and alumni always say that our historic, 75-acre campus is one of their favorites. They often call it home, even years after graduation. Do you have fond memories of living in Maurelian Hall? Did you love taking classes in Rosa Deal? By donating to CBU Forward: Campus and Facilities, you can directly fund the upkeep and maintenance of your favorite spots on campus.

CBU Forward: Athletics

Buccaneer Athletics is a huge part of who we are at CBU. We are proud of our Bucs and want to continue to give them the opportunity to showcase their hard work and talents on the field and on the court. By contributing to CBU Forward: Athletics, you can show your Buccaneer spirit and support your favorite team with more than cheers.

CBU Forward: Student Life

Life on a college campus is about caring for the whole self, about connecting with peers and faculty and forming friendships that last a lifetime. From counseling to recreation, from academic advising to campus ministry, from wellness and safety to housing and dining, CBU offers a lot of resources to help our students have a healthy, productive, and fun experience. By giving to CBU Forward: Student Life, you can help make our students’ lives just as rich and fulfilling and memorable outside the classroom as they are inside them.

Your gift to CBU Forward will assure that CBU continues to impact lives and prepare our students for careers and lives informed by the Lasallian values of faith, service, and community. Your investment in CBU today doesn't just impact four years. It changes a lifetime.
