All Gifts Change Lives

Whatever your amount and wherever you would like your gift to go, your investment in ULM will Change Lives. You may make a one-time donation or a recurring gift through payroll deduction. All gifts donated by ULM faculty and staff from Founder's Day, September 28, 2022, to Giving Tuesday, November 29, 2022, will be included in Giving Tuesday numbers. 

Don't know where to start? The ULM Foundation has created a suggested recurring gift through payroll deduction that will be just over $14 per pay period for 9-month employees and just over $10 per pay period for 12-month employees:

$250 - Total Annual Investment

$100 - Opportunity Fund Investment

Started with a $100,000 pledge from President Dr. Ron Berry and First Lady Dr. Christine Berry, the Opportunity Fund is an endowment that will advance opportunities for faculty, staff, and students. This fund specifically removes barriers to a wide variety of initiatives not typically funded through individual colleges or specific departments. The first Opportunity Fund recipients will be announced on December 10. Your gift to the Opportunity Fund will help employees like you Change Lives.

$35 - Alumni Association

Show your Warhawk pride by joining the ULM Alumni Association! For just $35, you will gain access to the entire ULM Alumni Network, discounts to the Bookstore and Activity Center, free food and drinks at each home football tailgate, and so much more! If you are not a graduate of ULM, you can still join the Alumni Association with the "Alumni By Choice" membership for the same price. If you are already a member, consider your tax-deductible contribution as additional support to the Alumni Association.

$50 - Warhawk Athletic Foundation

When you give to the Warhawk Athletic Foundation, you are supporting 400 men and women who represent ULM in intercollegiate athletics every year. You are supporting scholarships, equipment, facilities, and the entire student-athlete experience on the Bayou.

$65 - Faculty and Staff Excellence
