Parent Philanthropy
We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of Buff parents, whose partnership makes a meaningful difference across CU Boulder. As valued members of our Buff family, parents help provide opportunities, strengthen the student experience and ensure Buffs have the support they need for success.
As a member of the CU Buff family, we ask you to consider making the Student Life Success Fund one of your top philanthropic priorities and joining the Parent Leadership Society. By supporting the Student Life Success Fund, you will provide flexible resources for the Vice Chancellor for Student Life to respond to emerging student needs and strengthen programs that help students thrive, stay engaged, and make progress toward degree completion.
The Division of Student Life, which has nearly 30 departments that support students, including the Basic Needs Center, Career Services, Center for Cultural Connections & Community, Counseling and Psychiatric Services, Disability Services, Student Outreach, Advocacy & Support, Collegiate Recovery Community and so much more.
Campuswide Initiatives
The Parent Philanthropy and Campuswide Initiatives (PPCI) unit raises funds for campuswide initiatives associated with the Office of the Chancellor, Office of Undergraduate Education, Division of Student Life, and Division of Enrollment Management that oversees Financial Aid and Scholarship Services. These programs reflect CU Boulder’s commitment to access, financial well-being, and belonging.
Campuswide Initiatives focus on key areas of campus life that help all students thrive—regardless of their area of study—and contribute to a connected, engaged university community. Programs, such as the Basic Needs Center, Center for Leadership, Presidents Leadership Class, Veteran Bridge Program, First-Generation Scholars Program, and Guardian Scholars Program, enrich the student experience by offering meaningful learning opportunities and essential resources that support success both in and out of the classroom.
