About

Three funds to help Hawks dive deeper into their education and soar higher at RWU: the Hawk Fund for Financial Aid and Scholarships, the Blue and Gold Club to support student-athletes, and scholarship support for RWU Law students. Consider making a gift toward one of these three areas of impact.

Thanks to the Park Family P’25, all gifts to the Hawk Fund will be matched dollar for dollar up to $100,000! Make a gift to the Hawk Fund in support of Financial Aid and Scholarships and help us reach our goal. The impact of your gift, whether it be $10, $20, or $1,000, will be doubled with this generous challenge match.

Alumni Challenge

Join us in the 2nd annual alumni challenge. Our Board of Trustees have put forth a $50,000 challenge. Spearheaded by two of our alumni trustees, Tim Yeaton '80 and Heather Boujoulian '97, our goal is to surpass 500 alumni donors on Giving Day. No matter the size of your gift, you can help us unlock additional dollars for the Hawk Fund!

Young Alumni Challenge

Lucas Laager '23 will match young alumni donors (Classes 2015-2024 and current students) up to $50,000! For the first 200 young alumni gifts to any fund, Lucas will give $250 to the Hawk Fund. Your gift, no matter the amount, can help leverage a significant contribution toward our goal!

The Mandell Family Match

Gifts to the Mandell-Boisclair Justice Scholarship Fund will be matched up to $50,000 thanks to a generous match from the Mandell-Boisclair Family. The Mandell-Boisclair Justice Scholarship Fund will provide endowed scholarships to RWU Law to keep supporting changemakers from the School of Law.

Updates
The James Tackach Estate Giving Challenge

Professor Emeritus James Tackach has generously committed an estate gift to Roger Williams University to establish the James Tackach Professorship of the Feinstein School of the Humanities. Professor Tackach is challenging our community to consider including Roger Williams in their estate plans. He has launched the James Tackach Estate Giving Challenge to inspire others, pledging $50,000 to encourage and support those who document their planned gifts. The first five individuals who come forward with a planned gift may be eligible to unlock a generous $50,000 matching gift opportunity.  To learn more contact Kate Brezina, Assistant Vice President of Major and Planned Giving at kbrezina@rwu.edu
