The Tulane Fund

As the largest source of current use operating funds directly supporting Tulane University’s academic mission, the Tulane Fund creates opportunities for our students that otherwise might not be possible. Each gift goes to work immediately, providing for scholarships, faculty support, research, technology, arts, campus improvements, and essential programs.  

Your gift to any of the University’s schools, colleges, or select programs gives Tulane the flexibility to meet pressing needs and to continue building programs of promise and distinction.  

Our 2008 goal of $15 million will have the same impact as a $300 million endowment.

TULANE REBUILDING FUND

Established in September 2005, the rebuilding fund will help Tulane rebound from Hurricane Katrina healthier and stronger. Because of the enormous challenges we face, the university has set a goal to raise $100 million in rebuilding initiatives by 2007.

• Through the fund, your gift will make possible supplemental services and educational support that is crucially needed for students, faculty and staff through the initial months of rebuilding.
• Your gift also will help offset costs of various programs and scholarship assistance vital to student retention and recruitment.
• Additionally, your gift will aid in preserving and upgrading equipment, learning resources and facilities, especially when other means are insufficient.

Ultimately, your gift will help renew Tulane University and the communities we serve.
