You can still make an impact on Butler students!
Some call it giving back, we call it The Butler Way.

We did it, Dawgs!


Thanks to the generosity of the entire Butler community, we crushed our goal of 1,500 gifts and raised over $640,000 in support. Support from generous donors like you helps put a Butler education in reach for deserving students. Amazing things happen when Dawgs support Dawgs.
