This year, Eastern Kentucky University will educate over 16,000 students who possess a wide range of talents, dreams and backgrounds. Many will be first generation college students. Some will attend only because EKU alumni and friends made it financially possible for them to do so. Others will choose Eastern because of the learning enrichment opportunities that private gifts have enabled.

Charitable contributions to the Eastern Kentucky University Foundation provide resources needed to ensure that a high-quality learning experience is available for all students who choose Eastern as their college home. When properly planned, gifts to Eastern offer donors the personal satisfaction of knowing they have made a difference to the University's future while also providing charitable giving tax and financial benefits.

Guided by a new Strategic Plan, Eastern has identified a series of objectives that will help students, support faculty, enhance programs, improve facilities, and provide new avenues for learning and discovery across the campus. To uphold its reputation for excellence in teaching, research, and community service, Eastern Kentucky University needs the financial support of alumni and friends. Your charitable contribution will help provide the best learning experience possible for students who view their opportunity for an Eastern education as the gateway to a more rewarding, fulfilling life.
