The Campaign For Salisbury University
Endowment Gifts
Since my time as a student, I’ve proudly watched SU grow in stature and reputation, and in size. Private philanthropy and alumni support make it possible for us to achieve this growth.
Gifts from generous donors have transformational impacts on Salisbury University, enriching the educational experience we provide for students and the ways we serve our community and state. Private support makes all the difference for public universities like SU. No matter your area of interest, SU can match you with an opportunity. Those who are able to endow major gifts make an investment that lasts forever.
An endowment provides a donor with an opportunity to create a legacy, honor a loved one, and support the people and programs at SU in perpetuity. Endowment assets are invested to supply an annual, self-sustaining source of funds for a purpose specified by the donor. Commonly, endowed gifts support scholarships or professorships, or colleges and schools within the University, ensuring regular funds for departments, programs and operations, as well as student financial aid.
The SU Foundation has different minimum funding levels for various endowments:
- Scholarships for undergraduate or graduate students - $10,000
- Faculty support:
- Endowed professorships - $250,000
- Endowed chair - $1 million
- Operational support - naming opportunities for programs, schools and colleges vary
Please contact us to learn more about endowment opportunities! SU has many ways to recognize its donors who give on an annual basis, as well as those who make major gifts.
Priorities during The Campaign for Salisbury University include endowments for scholarships, professorships and chairs, as well as programmatic endowments, such as for the new College of Health and Human Services and its School of Nursing, School of Social Work and School of Health Sciences. We’d love to talk further with you about these or other areas that interest you. By establishing an endowment, you can create a permanent personal legacy – and provide essential resources to ensure the University’s long-term strength into the future.

Why Give to SU?
Transform Tomorrow
Our alumni are our legacy. They are the teachers in our classrooms, the nurses in our hospitals, the civil servants in our government and the entrepreneurs creating jobs in our communities. Our diverse and dynamic students need a broad educational experience to prepare them for a challenging future. During their lifetimes, they will make multiple career changes, solve problems we cannot imagine and live with dizzying change. We produce the continuous learners who will be an integral part of our society and communities in the 21st century. Together, we can provide scholarships and resources to unlock students’ limitless potential.
Shape Success
Learning is an evolutionary journey of discovery about self, knowledge and the world. Students learn truths about life on athletic fields, with clubs and organizations, and in the classroom and community. Guiding them are SU faculty and staff, who become trusted mentors and role models. Our teacher-scholars provide excellent learning opportunities. Coaches help student-athletes compete and succeed. Other caring professionals support intellectual and emotional growth. The heart of our University, they all play critical roles in supporting each student. Together, we can help dedicated faculty and staff open doors and inspire unequaled experiences.
Create Connections
SU is an integral part of the Delmarva Peninsula. As a regional, comprehensive university, we not only educate students but serve as a resource for our neighbors, with centers and institutes, events and activities, performing ensembles and artists, and countless opportunities for learning and interaction. Civic engagement is a pillar of students’ education – and our campus is a hub for cultural experiences, new ideas and entrepreneurial thought. We play a vital role in the area we call home, creating opportunities and inspiring action. Together, we can enrich collaborations woven across the region, strengthening our communities.
