About

The Fairfield Fund is essential to provide unrestricted resources to drive innovation as opportunities arise. Unrestricted support allows for the University to adapt in innovative ways to advance academics, financial aid, mental health, counseling, career services, or student activities that make a Fairfield experience meaningful, inclusive, and robust.

Did you know that unrestricted gifts benefit every student, every member of the faculty, and every academic program?

Academics are Strengthened - Your gift enables innovation in teaching and learning

Career Services Result in Jobs - Your gift pairs academic achievement with career opportunity

Critical Financial Aid is Available - Your gift ensures the dream of a Fairfield education is within reach for the most need-dependent and meritorious students

Student Life is Enhanced - Your gift funds important student clubs and activities that build community while providing students with valuable leadership experiences

Gifts to the Fairfield Fund have immediate and lasting impact.  

Since gifts to the Fairfield Fund are spent in the year they are received, you can have an immediate impact on every student's Fairfield experience. No matter the size of your gift, every dollar will work hard to benefit the needs you care about. Thank you for your continued support.
