Why I Give

Franciscan University does more than educate future professionals. We form disciples.

We call young people to a life of deeper faith, more fervent prayer, greater virtue, and bolder sacrifice.

We give them the tools they need to grow in wisdom, compassion, courage, and Christian maturity.
