Butler Day of Giving 2026

Connecting Students. Cultivating Belonging. Championing Well-Being.

The Division of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Student Affairs (DEISA) cultivates a campus environment where every learner feels welcomed, valued, and empowered to thrive. We advance a culture of belonging by integrating student life, intercultural engagement, holistic support services, and meaningful opportunities for co-curricular learning and leadership.

DEISA plays a critical role in fostering student success through intentional programming and inclusive practices that support recruitment, retention, and student flourishing. Our team leads with purpose and care to uphold the University's mission, promote well-being, and enrich the Butler experience for all students.

 We are committed to the development of the whole student -  equipping them to be the best version of themselves, contribute meaningfully to their communities, and prepare for life and leadership beyond Butler University.

By supporting DEI, you're investing in:

· Activities and practices that foster intercultural understanding and social justice awareness.

· Leadership and professional development opportunities for students, faculty, and staff.

· Programs and initiatives to create a more inclusive campus community.

Gifts supporting any department within the division is greatly appreciated. Featured funds are linked below. Or consider donating to the Vice President for DEI Priority Needs Fund which allows leadership the ability to address the most immediate and pressing needs of our students, faculty, and staff.
