Giving To Concordia

All Giving Opportunities

As Concordia strives to prepare servant leaders, we depend upon others to come alongside in this important mission. Every single person who gives of their time, opens doors to the community, prays for the University, and makes gifts dramatically shapes the future of our students and our alumni. We are humbled and grateful for your involvement.

Tuition only covers a portion of Concordia University Chicago’s operating costs. In order to continue providing excellent educational opportunities, we rely on support from individuals, foundations, and corporations. Your support can help students fulfill their calling in life and have a profound impact on our community and our church.

We seek to honor your participation and trust in us. Please take a moment to learn about the various giving options and designate your gift to a special area of interest—whether it’s general scholarship support, athletics, or the arts. Your involvement will help other students benefit from a life-changing Concordia educational experience.

May the PEACE of Christ be yours today and every day.
