Campaign Goals
Building a Culture
Campaigns usually have a single goal focused on the amount of money raised. At UD we established three goals to reflect the desire to both support our students today and build a culture to sustain an even more successful future. To accomplish the priorities of We Soar, our goals include engagement, participation and philanthropy.
We've reached our philanthropic and participation goals with nearly a year to go in the We Soar campaign! How high can we soar? We know the incredible family of Flyers can do even more for the future of our students and our UD.
Philanthropy
How high can we soar together?! We’ve reached $400M for the future of all Flyers, and we’re still climbing. Every gift increases access to our Catholic, Marianist education, expands hands-on learning opportunities for all students, and supports the incredible people and programs across the University.
Engagement
Get involved in the life of UD in a meaningful way. Whether it’s serving on an advisory council or becoming an alumni community leader, student mentor or peer-to-peer ambassador, you can help us achieve more together as we increase the number of new UD volunteers. Our goal is to welcome 2,800 Flyers in defined volunteer roles.
Participation
We’ve surpassed our goal of 19,250 new Front Porch Society members — the loyal foundation of UD supporters who make a gift of any amount for three or more consecutive fiscal years. These gifts allow the University to plan and further our commitment to a community that elevates the common good for all.
Dialed in on success
At UD, we do things differently: we achieve in community. So, in addition to tracking the number of dollars we raise together, we're also marking each percent of progress toward our engagement and participation goals.
