Purpose:
The Loyola Athletics department and the Office of University Advancement work together to ensure our student-athletes have the resources necessary to be successful in the classroom, in the community, and on the courts and fields of competition. The support of our alumni, parents, and fans helps make this possible.
Today, more than 330 student-athletes compete in intercollegiate athletics. Gifts to Wolf Pack Athletics have a direct and immediate impact on the student-athlete experience. Your generosity funds scholarships for student-athletes, travel for teams, capital projects, and other program enhancements that secure a bright future for Wolf Pack Athletics. Student-athletes continue to demonstrate their appreciation through community service and by supporting Loyola long after graduation.
Help shape the future of Wolf Pack Athletics. Visit loyno.edu/backthepack to make your gift today. If you would like to discuss how you can make a larger impact, please contact Kearney Gay at 504.861.5499 or wkgay@loyno.edu.
Ways to Give
University Sports Complex Renovation
The current University Sports Complex was originally designed as a recreational facility, not as a modern training and performance center for collegiate athletics. Today, the facility lacks essential resources that student-athletes need to compete at the highest level.
As Loyola expands opportunities in athletics, the need for upgraded facilities becomes even more urgent. To remain competitive nationally and continue attracting outstanding students, coaches, and staff, Loyola must invest in facilities that reflect the excellence of its programs.Â
Wolf Pack Athletics Development Fund
This fund supports the well-being of more than 330 Loyola student-athletes. These gifts provide the athletic department's administration the opportunity to invest in the areas of greatest need among all of its priorities. Academic support, travel expenses, sports medicine, and strength and conditioning are examples of the ways in which these dollars are invested in our student-athletes.
Support Your Team
Alumni, parents, and friends may elect to designate their gift to a specific sport. These funds benefit that program and provide greater opportunities for team building, travel, equipment, recruiting, and more. loyno.edu/backthepack
Matching Gifts
You can increase your gift through your employer’s matching gift program. Many companies offer matching gift programs that increase the impact of their employees’ charitable donations. If you work for a company with a matching gift program, you can participate and significantly increase the total value of your gift to Loyola University New Orleans.
Endowment Support
An endowment fund is a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding. Each year, a portion of the value of this fund is used to support the fund's overall purpose. In this way, an endowment fund can grow and provide support for its designated purpose in perpetuity. Examples of endowment opportunities at Loyola include:Â Â
- The Endowed Athletics Travel Fund will help support the biggest expense for an athletics program. This will allow our students and coaches to travel more conveniently and enhance their ability to study and properly rest on road trips with properly equipped transportation.
- Endowed Scholarships and fellowships enable Loyola to attract the most talented players to our sports teams and fulfill our financial commitment to all of our student-athletes.Â
When you establish an endowment fund, you create a permanent legacy of support for Loyola! To discuss how you can create a permanent legacy at Loyola, please contact Kearney Gay at 504.861.5499 or wkgay@loyno.edu.
