The Butler Giving Circle is a community of alumni donors dedicated to supporting two mission-critical elements of Butler University’s vision for the future: Student Access and Success and Community Partnerships.
Through an annual gift of $500 to the Giving Circle Fund, any Butler alumni, parent or friend can become a shareholder and voting member in the Butler Giving Circle.
Since its inception in 2019, the Butler Giving Circle has raised nearly $50,000 in support of the community grant program, the Giving Circle’s priority partner, and the Butler Fund for Student Scholarship. Current Butler students, faculty, and staff engaged with Indianapolis community partnerships may submit project ideas that aim to make a meaningful impact in the organization and in the community. After an initial review of project proposals by Butler University Advancement and the Butler Giving Circle Executive Committee, Butler Giving Circle shareholders have the opportunity to recommend final recipients by vote at the Butler Giving Circle annual meeting. Shareholders must make their $500 contribution to Butler University by May 31 each year to be eligible to vote for the community grant recipients at the annual meeting.
