Why Give
Discover the impact of your generosity on the students, ministries, and communities we serve.
Transform Lives With Your Support
Nurture lives of learning, service, and leadership by donating to Concordia University Irvine. With your generosity, you can open doors through scholarships, Christ-centered programs, and hands-on learning opportunities. You’ll also empower our faculty with the tools, resources, and enriched learning environments they need to guide our students with excellence.
Our mission depends on partners like you. Together, we can help students grow in their callings and make a meaningful impact in the world.

Find Your Giving Community
Make your impact personal. Choose the community that best represents your connection to Concordia and support the area that matters most to you.
Alumni
Give back to the community that shaped you. When you donate to Concordia, you’re helping today’s students experience the same Christ-centered education, close-knit community, and opportunities that defined your time here.
Plus, if you’re one of our Graduates of the Last Decade who make up nearly 60% of our alumni family, you’ll gain access to exclusive GOLD member benefits. These include reduced rates at the Golden Eagle Golf Classic and the Gala of Stars.
Want to leave your mark on campus? For a $100 donation, you’ll have your name engraved on a campus brick. For $500, your name will be engraved on a music locker plaque in the Borland-Manske Center.
