The Blue Demon Challenge has ended, but you can still make a difference for DePaul students!
Today is the Blue Demon Challenge: Give Now!

There is so much to life at DePaul! 

In addition to degree programs in our ten colleges and schools, DePaul offers many ways for our students to participate, build and grow their community. DePaul is committed to enriching student learning and the student experience outside of the classroom, both on campus and in the Chicago community through a wide variety of programs, events, leadership opportunities and quality support services. 

DePaul offers opportunities for every student to get involved. In addition to social and recreational activities, these organizations offer students a chance to learn and develop leadership skills that will continue to benefit them long after they leave campus. Our faith-based groups allow students to gather in fellowship or in faith to explore our Catholic, Vincentian heritage or their own faith traditions. And, of course, students of all faiths (or none) come together in service to our larger Chicago community. During the Blue Demon Challenge, your gift to the Life at DePaul can go even further in the following ways: 

  • Mission and Ministry Challenge: If 20 alumni and friends make gifts to any fund in Mission and Ministry, Becky Reed Kedrowski (LAS '06, MSW '08) will give $5,000 to university ministry scholarships!
  • Student Mental Health Fund Matching Challenge: A donor who wishes to remain anonymous will match, dollar-for-dollar, all gifts to the Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund, up to $2,500!
  • Student Mental Health Fund Challenge: If we receive 25 gifts to the Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund, a donor who wishes to remain anonymous will give $2,500! 
  • The Finish Line Fund Challenge: If we receive 20 gifts to the Finish Line Fund, a donor who wishes to remain anonymous will contribute $10,000! 

Your gift during the Blue Demon Challenge to any area DePaul that means the most to you will ensure students have the support they need to advance their growth outside of the classroom. Thank you for making your gift today!
