2024 Annual Fund
Impact Report
Xavier raised $9.1 million for the Annual Fund in FY24 thanks to the generosity of more than 7,500 donors.
Restricted and unrestricted gifts to the University allowed members of the Xavier Family to make a difference in the lives of students, who in turn, will change the world for the better.
Message from the Director
Dear Friends,
What is your purpose?
Xavier’s purpose statement celebrates our rich Jesuit Catholic heritage while defining our common goal as an institution:
Xavier University forms students who change the world for the better.
Changing the world for the better is not something any of us can do alone. It takes a commitment from all of us, a commitment which I am proud to say has remained stronger than ever this past fiscal year.
Through the generosity of alumni, families, students, faculty and staff, more than 7,500 Xavier donors raised over $9.1 million for the annual fund in FY24. Those dollars helped advance our purpose by funding scholarships that defrayed the cost of education for thousands of Xavier students.
What I find most remarkable about our Xavier Family is not necessarily the amount we were able to raise together this past year. What truly separates us as a community is how we came together to do it. Roughly 83% of all annual fund gifts came from individuals who gave less than $500 to Xavier. Individuals, families and friends of the University contributed to make an impact that is greater than anything one person could do alone, showing once again how great an impact we can make when we come together as a Xavier Family.
Thank you for making Xavier possible. Thank you for advancing our purpose. I am truly blessed to be part of a community that believes in the power of Jesuit Catholic education.
Sincerely,
Leigh Ann Fibbe
Executive Director for University Relations
