Supporting SLU: Ways to Give

To give to SLU via your will, trust, retirement assets, life insurance policy or financial accounts, or to make a gift of real estate, contact SLU's Office of Planned Giving.

Students, faculty and staff can leverage Saint Louis University's crowdfunding platform to raise stakeholder and community support for specific projects. Gifts can be made by credit card or through digital wallets like PayPal, Venmo or Google Pay. Initiatives change regularly. Learn how you can support a project currently in need at crowdfunding.slu.edu.

A gift to Saint Louis University is a wonderful way to honor a special occasion or to celebrate a life. A letter notifying the honored or the deceased's family will be sent immediately upon receipt of your gift. The amount of the gift will not be disclosed. Make a tribute gift online or by mail using our printable gift form (PDF).
