Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

The LSU Foundation catalyzes transformational philanthropic support for LSU through cultivating and investing in philanthropic partnerships to advance LSU's academic priorities.

Every day, our development officers help donors match philanthropic goals with opportunities to make a difference at LSU. Our team works one-on-one with donors to ensure each gift meets the donor’s needs, goals and passions. Donors may leverage endowments, matching gifts, planned gifts, gifts of stock and more. In addition, annual gifts, accepted by phone, email or mail, support provide critical unrestricted support campus-wide.

The LSU Foundation is composed of a campus-wide team of frontline development officers, a support team based in the LSU Foundation Center for Philanthropy on Nicholson Drive, and a board of directors.

Last year the LSU Foundation surpassed our fundraising goal. We raised more than $56 million for academics at LSU and were part of boosting the university’s alumni giving rate six spots among our SEC peer group. Of this total, 45.6 percent was from endowed gifts, $16.9 million was committed through estate plans and 13 gifts were of $1 million or more. Building upon this momentum is the public launch of the LSU Campaign, the largest capital campaign for higher education in the history of Louisiana, on March 28-19, 2019.
