You can still impact Butler students!
Some call it giving back, we call it The Butler Way.

We did it, Dawgs!

Thanks to the generosity of the entire Butler community, we surpassed our goal of 1,500 gifts and raised over $480,000 in support for Butler students, faculty & staff.

With your help, we completed more than a dozen gift challenges that will directly assist current and future Butler students. We couldn’t have done it without your help! You can still impact Butler students here.

When Dawgs support Dawgs, everyone wins, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Bark If You're a Bulldog!
