Flyer Funder — Crowdfunding for UD!
Application deadline to host a spring project is February 20. Apply Now
Raise funds to support University of Dayton colleges, units, programs and projects that are most important to you via Flyer Funder, the official crowdfunding platform. Flyer Funder has funded service trips like UDSAP, events like Christmas on Campus, and experiential learning opportunities like the UD Mars Rover Competition Team. Every dollar committed to Flyer Funder goes to support the project - there are no fees or deductions!
Flyer Funder projects must support the University and cannot pass through an external charity or third party.
