Major Gifts





Major Gifts to the Marian University Department of Athletics provide the foundation from which our athletic programs are built and grow. Major gifts fall into two categories:
  • Scholarship Endowments
  • Facilities Construction and Renovation

Scholarship Endowments are a great way to provide an educational foundation for one of our student-athletes as they achieve success on and off the field. Endowments are named into perpetuity and can be awarded in any manner you may choose.

Major gifts for the construction and renovation of our athletic facilities help provide the necessary environments for our student-athletes to achieve success. Be these the venues themselves, training facilities, locker rooms, or coaches offices, the improvement and construction of our facilities helps us to keep a competitive pace with our peer schools. The following facilities opportunities are available.
  • Building Naming
  • Stadium Naming
  • Locker Rooms, Training Rooms, and Coaches Offices
  • Capstones
  • Benches
  • Pillars of Support

Major gifts can be accepted in many different forms. Some of the forms are listed below:
  • Gifts of securities
  • Memorial gifts
  • Planned gifts
  • Pledges
