Why Support Temple

Why does Temple need my support?

Tuition and state funds alone do not cover the cost of higher education. In fact, only a portion of the money required to educate Temple students is covered by these sources. The difference is made up by gifts from dedicated people like you.

Where does my money go?

Wherever you choose. You can designate your gifts to an individual school or college, athletics, the library, or unrestricted university use. 100% of your gift goes to the area you choose, and every gift helps make Temple a great place to study and live.

Does my gift make a difference?

Absolutely! Your gift, whatever the size, is a vote of confidence in Temple and encourages others to give. Every gift enables Temple to do even more for our students.

How can I give?

However you like. Gifts can be made in cash, securities or even property transfers. Cash gifts, made by check or credit card, help Temple now and at the same time qualify as a tax deduction. Make your gift online now or mail it to:
