Inspiring Student Life

About the Campaign

At Penn, the Cultural Resource Centers are where students find belonging, purpose, and lifelong community. Inspiring Student Life is a fundraising initiative that supports University Life’s Cultural Resource Centers and celebrates their collective impact across campus and beyond. Your gift sustains the programs, mentorship, and celebrations that shape student experiences and inspire leadership for generations to come.

Give to What Inspires You

Support All Cultural Resource Centers

By giving to the Cultural Resource Centers Future Fund, you are supporting the collective work of our CRCs through shared initiatives, collaborative programming, and student group support.

All gifts of any size given to the Cultural Resource Centers will receive Penn Fund credit. Additionally, gifts of $2,500 or more qualify for membership in the Benjamin Franklin Society (BFS). BFS is the University’s leadership unrestricted annual giving group. These distinguished donors make gifts and pledge payments of $2,500 or more to annual giving funds across the University in a given fiscal year.

Your Gift Uplifts Community and Connection at Penn

Your gift strengthens student leadership, celebrates culture, and builds community for the entire Penn Community.

The most important thing we can do is offer a place where students can find community.

Matching Gifts

Matching gifts can double or triple the size of a gift and serve as an important source of support. To confirm if you or your spouse/partner are affiliated with a company that matches charitable gifts, visit www.matchinggifts.com/uofpa.

Recurring Gifts

Donors also may demonstrate their commitment by setting up a recurring gift charged by credit card on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Utilizing this method, donors may be able to increase their annual support by breaking up payments to equal a larger gift.
