Considering a gift - Opening Doors

We live by the traditions Villanova University cherishes most – faith and learning within a community of scholars and students who are committed to making a positive difference in the world. Your gift is an investment in the future of Catholic Theology.

It helps us to realize our vision:

• to inspire the region, the nation, and the world;
• to advance the academic study of Theology;
• to attract outstanding graduate and undergraduate students; and
• to be recognized as one of the finest Catholic Theology departments by virtue of the vibrancy, effectiveness, and distinctiveness of our undergraduate programs, the quality and impact of our graduate program, and the excellence of our faculty.

Opportunities to Give

Opportunities for giving abound. Consider supporting the academic distinctiveness of our students and faculty by:

• endowing a Professorship;
• establishing a Graduate and/or Undergraduate Fellowship that provides financial assistance to bright, qualified students and allows them to enroll in our programs;
• establishing general Research Funds, Research Fellowship Awards, or Funds for Research Semesters that permit our faculty to maintain and enhance research excellence; or
• giving unrestricted gifts that sustain our department's entrepreneurial spirit and give us the flexibility to create new opportunities and meet new challenges in the field of Catholic Theology.
