KU Giving Magazine
Support Your Passion
KU Endowment is honored to celebrate Jayhawk Faithful — the most loyal and steadfast supporters of the University of Kansas.
Donors who make a gift to any area at KU for two or more consecutive years are recognized through this dedicated donor group — no matter the size of the gift.
Together, your dollars make many things possible, including research, cultural experiences, real-world learning and community outreach. From students discovering a new species to faculty writing scripts for award-winning films to physician-scientists advancing a cure, the effects are far-reaching and life-changing. The impact of Jayhawk Faithful will be felt for generations to come — one idea, one discovery, one action at a time.
Campus Cupboard
Jayhawk Faithful donors support a variety of areas on all five campuses at the University of Kansas. More than 150 Jayhawk Faithful donors have raised $29,285 for food insecurity programs like the Campus Cupboard, a free food pantry for KU students, faculty, staff and affiliates.
