Student Philanthropy Council

Student Philanthropy Council

The Student Philanthropy Council (SPC) is service organization dedicated to educating the NAU student body on the importance and impact of philanthropy and volunteerism. Created by students for students, our members have been serving Northern Arizona University and the greater Flagstaff community since 2009.




In addition to educating students about the impact and importance of giving back, the SPC supports NAU’s Student Giving Campaigns through promotional and fundraising events, helping to build a strong tradition of Lumberjack pride and a culture student giving on campus.


The SPC manages and fundraises for the NAU Student Philanthropy Scholarship and the NAU Senior Legacy Scholarship.  Every year, students show their NAU spirit by supporting these scholarships that directly impact fellow Lumberjacks.  We hope you will consider joining their legacy and be a Jack that Gives Back!



Every gift matters—it's not the amount you give, but your participation that counts!


Your gift demonstrates to others the value and trust you have for your peers.  

Thank you for supporting the Student Philanthropy Council and our mission!
