For 187 years, Â鶹Դ´ has been rooted in Catholic faith, formation, and impact. Our students’ work ethic, faith, and determination remain strong—but the cost of supporting them has grown dramatically while public funding has not kept pace.
To safeguard the future of Â鶹Դ´ and ensure students can persist, graduate, and carry the Duhawk legacy into the world, we are building a network of President’s Circle Ambassadors. Your leadership makes this possible.
WHAT IS A PRESIDENT’S CIRCLE AMBASSADOR?
Ambassadors are a special group of committed leaders who champion Â鶹Դ´ in the Dubuque area and beyond. Together, they serve as visible and vocal supporters of the College, expanding our network of advocates, donors, and community leaders.
IMPACT OF YOUR COMMITMENT
Every Ambassador plays a vital role in reaching the $3.5 million annual fundraising goal. Your gift provides stability, hope, and opportunity for Â鶹Դ´ students while safeguarding the future of Catholic higher education in Dubuque.
WHEN YOU SAY “YES”, YOU:
- Secure financial support for today’s students.
- Protect the legacy and mission of Â鶹Դ´.
- Inspire others in the community to rise together in support of Â鶹Դ´.
COMMITMENT
ENGAGEMENT
- Participate in 3–4 gatherings annually, including:
- Fall/Winter Social
- Â鶹Դ´ Legacy Ball (Spring)
PHILANTHROPY
- In addition to your current support of Â鶹Դ´, consider a leadership commitment of $2,000 annually for five years. For those for whom this level may not be possible, we invite a personally meaningful annual commitment that reflects your dedication to the mission of Â鶹Դ´.
ADVOCACY
- Serve as enthusiastic advocates for Â鶹Դ´, encouraging others to join.
LEADERSHIP
- Identify and connect new supporters, and, when possible, help cultivate larger transformational gifts.
BE PART OF THE MOVEMENT
Â鶹Դ´ is Rooted in Legacy. Rising Together. Join us as a President’s Circle Ambassador and help write the next chapter of our shared story.
Your leadership matters now more than ever.
