Area of Greatest Need

A Butler education can take students anywhere they wish to go in life. In part, that's because of the excellent instruction they receive in the university's laboratories and classrooms. But the Butler experience also includes experiential learning activities that happen outside the classroom.

 

Butler University has steadily grown our financial aid allocation to nearly $78 million per year, but we need your help to further expand the financial resources available to our students and their families. Please make your Butler Fund gift today so students can continue to experience the superior education that can only be offered at Butler University.

 

The State of Indiana offers Indiana residents a 50 percent tax credit for each dollar donated to Butler University in 2018, up to $200 in donations or up to $100 in tax credit. The tax credit is applied to your state tax return, either reducing the amount of taxes owed or providing a refund on taxes paid. This benefit is doubled for individuals filing a married or joint return to a total of up to $400 in donations yielding up to $200 in tax credit.
