Giving to Salve Regina University

ANNUAL GIVING

Like all great universities, Salve Regina depends upon annual financial support from alumni, parents and friends to continue its central mission of preparing men and women to lead responsible lives. To foster meaningful giving opportunities, several Annual Giving programs are available to help meet student and university needs.

Annual Giving Programs:

Fund Raising Events

Commemorative Ornaments

Annual Fund

Each year, Salve Regina’s Annual Fund continues to thrive, thanks to the generous support of alumni, parents, and friends. The Annual Fund serves as the “nuts and bolts” for financing the university’s greatest needs. Annual Fund support ensures the future of Salve Regina by providing funds for students, faculty, programs, facilities and technology.

Phonathon

The Annual Fund phonathon program is an excellent means of keeping in touch with our alumni and current parents. Salve Regina's phonathon team is staffed by work-study students who directly benefit from Annual Fund dollars. The phonathon callers work hard to help the university reach its fundraising goals.
