Make Giving an Annual Tradition

Annual giving is an excellent way to demonstrate ongoing support of CNU through regular gifts. These campaigns and clubs allow you to direct your gift to a particular program or CNU area, or to provide general unrestricted support.

Captain’s Crew

The Captain’s Crew is the official support organization for CNU Athletics. Home to a top Division III athletic program, we are proud of the many outstanding achievements of our scholar-athletes - both on and off the field. Gifts to the Captain’s Crew help purchase equipment, improve facilities, and enable students to compete in events across the country.

Partner in the Arts

CNU offers several annual giving clubs dedicated to its arts programs, including the Ferguson Center for the Arts, Friends of Music, CNU Theater Guild and Friends of the Visual Arts.

Parent Ambassadors

We invite all parents who are CNU donors or benefactors to participate in the Parent Ambassadors. Our Parent Ambassadors enhance the student and family experience at CNU. These parents are champions of the University’s vision, sharing it with parents of prospective students and relating personal experiences that highlight the value of a CNU education.

The Faculty Staff Campaign

The Faculty & Staff Campaign enables CNU employees the opportunity to help enhance the quality of the University's programs and help fund student scholarships through their financial contributions. Employees can designate their gifts to the program or area of need of their choice and choose a payment option that works best for them, including payroll deduction.
