Why does Northern Arizona University need donations?

State funding, tuition, and fees do not cover the total cost to provide a university education each year.

Generosity from donors supports every facet of the student experience at Northern Arizona University. Your support opens the doors for students to attend the university through scholarships that can minimize loan debt.

Your generosity helps NAU attract and retain outstanding professors who cultivate student potential and provide a myriad of programs and research opportunities that allow Northern Arizona University to offer an exceptional education. Donors like you help the university increase in quality and prestige.

Where do my donations go?

Your contributions to the Northern Arizona University Foundation are designated according to your wishes and directly benefit the area(s) at NAU that you select. You can choose to designate your gift to more than one area. Simply note your preference on the gift form and how much you want to give to each area.

It’s your gift—your choice.
