Parent and Family Giving
The Power of Family
For so many students, it is family that powers their rise to USF. Through commitment, sacrifice and determination, families are at the core of the student experience. Parent and Family Giving works to increase available resources for USF students on all campuses. Every facet of student life benefits from the generosity of our Bulls family. Helping to ensure students are healthy, well and reaching their full potential is of the highest priority.
How Do I Join?
By making a gift of any size to Parent and Family Giving, you are making a difference in the lives of our students. Supporters of this fund receive special communications from university leadership and are eligible to participate in exclusive opportunities throughout the year. For those seeking deeper engagement with USF and the opportunity to make an even greater impact, we encourage participation in the Parent and Family Giving Leadership Council.
What is the Parent and Family Giving Leadership Council?
Those who give $1,500 annually are eligible to take part in guiding the disbursement of funds. Family members provide critical insight into the ever-changing needs of our student body. Members of the leadership council work together to prioritize the most urgent or important needs, then direct Parent and Family Giving resources to make an impact.
