Butler Day of Giving

With more than 50,000 alumni living all over the world, you’re never far away from the Butler community. The Office of Butler Community Engagement provides opportunities for graduates, parents, and friends to connect with one another and the greater Butler community. Join us at a campus or community event, connect with Bulldogs in your area, or share your time and talents with us—we’re always here for you, no matter how you want to support Butler.

Featured Initiatives:

• The Alumni Association challenges fellow graduates to support their Academic College for the Leaderboard Challenge! Help your college unlock additional challenge dollars. The college with the largest percentage increase in the number of gifts over 2024 will receive bonus funding! Gifts to any area supporting your college counts.
• The Butler Giving Circle is a network of alumni, parents, and friends supporting Butler University’s Student Access & Success and Community Partnerships. Membership requires an annual gift of at least $500, granting voting rights to decide on community grant recipients. Contributions are distributed as follows: 40% to student scholarships, 40% to community grants, and 20% to priority partners. Shareholders can vote during the Annual Meeting, participate in engagement opportunities, and receive updates on funded projects. Grant finalists are chosen from Butler-affiliated community projects, with voting held in June.
