Inspired and Energized.

The University of Denver has been inspired and energized by a rare brand of commitment and philanthropy for more than 150 years. In 1864, the school that would become DU literally stood on the frontier – of the nation, of 19th century knowledge, of belief in the power of learning on the edge of tomorrow. A century and a half later, thanks to the generosity of generations, we remain on the frontier – of discovery, of teaching, of providing vital solutions to issues challenging our community and our world.

Our three central giving societies – Crimson & Gold Society, Spire Society, and the Pioneer Legacy Society – were created to recognize the tremendous generosity of our community. Each level of support and every gift allows the University of Denver to continue along this journey, pioneering the future of higher education and creating meaningful impact in our communities and around the globe.

Philanthropy is at the heart of the University of Denver’s work, fueling every aspect of our research, teaching, and community on our campus and beyond. We are grateful for the partnership of the many alumni, students, friends, parents, staff, and faculty whose generosity makes possible the innovations and collaborations that are changing our world for the better.
