About

Strengthening student clubs, together

🎉 Thank you for supporting Fairfield University’s first-ever crowdfunding campaign! 🎉

From November 3 to November 21, Fairfield students led the charge in our inaugural university-wide crowdfunding campaign, raising funds for the unique, self-directed projects of their student groups. Thanks to the generosity of alumni, families, friends, and the campus community, our 20 participating student groups raised a total of $32,296 from 304 donors to advance the programs, activities, and initiatives they care about most.

While the campaign is now closed, you can still explore the projects below to see the impact our students are making. If you’d like to continue supporting student activities, click here and select “other designation,” then indicate the club or program you wish to support.
