Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)
For your convenience, we are providing links to the mostly commonly used Donor-Advised Funds. Concordia University Irvine has already received DAF grants from these funds, so the recommendation process should be easy.
Support Concordia students, staff, faculty and community by investing in Concordia through your Donor Advised Fund. It is easy! Follow one of these links to log in to your existing account.
Join Our Giving Community
Getting involved is simple. By donating annually, you’ll join a network of supporters who strengthen our programs, uplift students, and advance Christ-centered education.
Give faithfully each year — in any amount up to $999 — to become a Friend of Concordia. Your loyal support will help sustain scholarships, campus programs, and areas of need.
Make an even greater impact by becoming a Pacesetter
Pacesetters set the pace in advancing the mission of Concordia University. Through their prayers and gifts, they become personally involved in educating young people who will witness to their faith in a variety of vocations. By example, Pacesetters encourage others to follow their lead in supporting this Great Commission University where strong academic programs, outstanding faculty and staff and state-of-the art facilities contribute to the spiritual, moral and professional development of our students and future leaders.
Please prayerfully consider becoming a Pacesetter of Concordia’s mission. Gifts support student scholarships, academic programs, or other projects on campus. Listed below are the benefits for each level of giving:
| Pacesetter $1,000 – $2,499 | Golden Pacesetter $2,500 – $4,999 | Benefactor Circle $5,000 – $9,000 | Virtuoso Circle $10,000+ | |

Give Your Time and Talents
Another way to give is through your time and talents. Volunteers are a vital part of our community.
Each year, alumni, parents, and friends donate their time to support students and strengthen the campus experience. From welcoming new students on Move-In Day to hosting alumni events and class reunions, you’ll be carrying forward the spirit of faith, fellowship, and generosity that defines Concordia.
