All In for Ursuline Day of Giving
Help us reach 750 donations and raise $250,000 from our second All In for Ursuline day of giving! We have some great giveaways and challenges, including a drawing for four tickets to see Garth Brooks. And in the spirit of Serviam, we are offering the option to have a portion of your donation go to the Ursuline Sisters in Poland for Ukraine relief.
What is the Fund for Ursuline?
The Fund for Ursuline is a crucial source of funding for Ursuline’s operating budget. Approximately 10% of the school’s operating income derives from the Fund for Ursuline, and is used to support everything from faculty professional development, to supplies and equipment for student programming like athletics and the arts, to financial assistance for students for whom an Ursuline education would be out of reach.
Why should I donate today?
Even if you have already donated to the Fund for Ursuline, donating to the All In campaign helps us in a couple of important ways.
- It counts toward our campaign goal of 750 donors, helping to demonstrate the strength and unity of our community.
- It unlocks matching gifts and challenges! This year, our Board of Trustees has offered to donate $10,000 for every 250 gifts received. In addition, you will have the option to have 2.5% of your gift go towards supporting the Ukrainian relief efforts of the Ursuline Sisters Poland Province.

How can I set up a challenge to motivate others to donate?
Yes! Just click on Challenges in the menu bar and fill out the form to create a challenge gift.
May I direct my donation to a certain program at Ursuline?
Yes, you may donate during All in for Ursuline and designate your gift to a certain program area. Your gift today is considered an unrestricted donation, but the designation indicates your preference of how you’d like your support used.
In keeping with best practices employed by peer schools, Ursuline has offered designations of high priority within our operating budget; your designated gift will be applied towards the financial need of that area.
- Area of greatest need
- Tuition assistance programs
- Academics and cocurriculars
- Campus Ministry and service
- Athletics
- Fine Arts
I saw that I will have the option to donate to Ukrainian relief efforts. How do I do that?
In true Serviam fashion, when you make your online donation during All in for Ursuline, you will have an option to donate 2.5% of your gift to the Ursuline Sisters of the Poland Province, who are providing direct relief for Ukrainian refugees.
When you get to the page where you enter your contact/payment information, be sure to check the box that says “Yes, I would like 2.5 % of my gift to go toward Ukrainian relief efforts sponsored by the Ursuline Sisters in the Polish Province.”
We will calculate the total donation amount at the end of this giving campaign and send the donation directly to the Sisters of the Polish Province which includes Ukraine. Ursuline sisters throughout Eastern Europe are already sheltering and caring for refugees at this time and donated funds will be put to immediate use.
