Where to Give

CNU Day is our moment to come together to show the world why Captains are different! This year, we invite you to make a meaningful impact by supporting two vital university priorities—the Area of Greatest Need and Scholarships. Your generosity to these areas will help provide critical resources and life-changing opportunities for our students, empowering them to excel and shape the future. It takes “Every Captain, Every Year.” Let’s pay it forward and make a difference together!

CNU Day may be over, but your impact continues.

Thank you for supporting scholarships and the Area of Greatest Need—two vital priorities that directly benefit our students and campus community. Together, we make dreams possible and ensure that every Captain has the resources to thrive. Giving is always open. Help us continue the momentum until next CNU Day!
