Recognition and Stewardship

Your charitable gift to Duquesne University is more than a donation or a tax deduction. It is an investment in our historic mission to serve God by serving students. It demonstrates and deepens a relationship built on a shared vision and values.

Duquesne is committed to recognizing its generous benefactors, and to ensuring that they understand how their gifts are invested and spent to the ultimate, life-changing benefit of its students.

The Office of Stewardship within Duquesne’s Division of University Advancement coordinates these efforts from acceptance and acknowledgement of gifts, to appropriate recognition, and through accountability and reporting.

"The Mission that Moves Us"

The Duquesne community is recognized for its relentless pursuit of a singular mission: to serve God by serving students.  The pillars of our mission statement -- academic excellence, moral and spiritual values, ecumenism, service and world concern -- rest on a foundation of donor support.  This short video presentation explains how donors make the words of our mission come alive.  Thank you for your support!

Recognition: Individuals contributing $1,000 or more are eligible for membership in the Duquesne Society. Duquesne Society members are publicly acknowledged in our online Honor Roll and receive additional benefits.

Graduates of the last decade may enjoy full Duquesne Society benefits with smaller gifts as members of the des Places Circle.

The Father McAnulty Society recognizes alumni and friends who have made provisions for the University in their estate plans.

Stewardship: Comprehensive information for donors is provided on a regular basis.
