CIU Giving Day - March 19, 2026
Giving Opportunities
CIU Fund
The CIU Fund supports our university’s most urgent needs, including faculty development, student programs, and campus improvements. Gifts to the CIU Fund are unrestricted, allowing CIU to allocate resources where they are needed most. Your gift to the CIU Fund provides the flexibility to meet current challenges and advance the mission of CIU.
Scholarships
Scholarships are essential in making a CIU education accessible to a diverse range of students. By establishing a scholarship or contributing to existing funds, you help relieve the financial burden of students and enable them to focus on their academic and spiritual growth.
Initiatives
CIU is constantly working on initiatives that enhance student life, expand academic opportunities, and improve our campus. Your support of these initiatives ensures CIU remains a leader in Christ-centered education and helps us offer programs that equip students to serve the world.
Planned Giving
Leave a lasting legacy by including CIU in your estate plans. Planned giving allows you to support our mission while achieving your financial goals. Whether through a bequest, charitable trust, or gift annuity, planned gifts can have a profound and lasting impact on CIU’s future.
