About

At Capital, belief is more than hope; it’s action. We believe in our students’ potential, their curiosity, and their courage to become leaders who are ready for anything.

Every student’s journey at Capital is unique. It’s their major, their organization, their team, their mentors, and the friendships and experiences that shape who they become long after graduation.

On this Day of Giving, we come together in that shared belief. Your gift to the Capital Fund and departmental funds provides vital resources that support students, strengthen campus life, and allow the university to respond to its most pressing needs.

Our goal is 130 donors in just one day. Join us in showing our students how deeply they are supported. Make your gift to the Capital Fund today.

THANK YOU!

We did it! 🎉

Thanks to your incredible generosity and advocacy, we’ve reached our Day of Giving goal of 575 donors; to turn belief into action for our students and the future of Capital.

Today, we celebrate YOU. Thank you for being a part of Capital's fourth-annual university-wide Day of Giving and for believing in Capital!

We could not have done it without our advocates, alumni, donors, and friends. You made this possible - thank you!

With appreciation,
Capital University Annual Giving Team
