ON APRIL 10, 1887, Pope Leo XIII signed the charter officially establishing The Catholic University of America — and we are so grateful he did! Each April, alumni, parents, students, faculty and staff, and friends, unite to celebrate our community’s achievements and look ahead to the bright future of Catholic University. Founders Day is a 24-hour giving challenge that invites Cardinals to support the area of the University that means the most to them.
Become a Founders Day advocate! Sign up to receive a personalized link you can share via email, text, or social media to spread the word and track the impact of your outreach. Your efforts help expand our reach, build momentum, and inspire more people to support Catholic University.
Join the celebration and show your Cardinal pride by making your gift early or on April 10, 2025!
