Parents Fund

Why should I contribute to the Parents Campaign??

The Parents Campaign is a vital part of the Salisbury University Annual Fund. The Campaign provides the parents of SU students and alumni with an annual giving program designed especially for them. Tuition dollars covers only 32% of what it takes to educate the students here at Salisbury University, the remainder must come from private sources.

Unrestricted gifts by parents of students and graduates enable the University to strengthen and enrich the educational experience and help us meet unanticipated student needs. Restricted gifts may be directed toward the enhancement of specific programs or may be designated specifically for scholarships.

How can I make a gift?

Parents generally use cash, credit cards or securities to make their annual gifts. If you need more information on transferring securities, or would like to use a different vehicle to make your gift, please call the Office of Alumni Relations / Annual Giving at 410-543-6042.

How much should I contribute?

Every gift makes a difference. A high percentage of parent participation helps the University and parents work together to make a critical difference in the educational experience of our students. We ask each family to participate to the best of their ability because the strength of the Parents Campaign lies in the combined gifts of all SU parents. Please remember that your gift is tax deductible, and if you or your spouse works for a matching gift company, your gift may be even doubled or tripled.
