Celebrating the Power of Your Impact

Every gift from the Pride helps create new opportunities, strengthen our community, and change lives in lasting ways.

A single gift can shape a student’s future, strengthen a program, or transform a learning environment. Its influence often extends far beyond what can be measured, creating a ripple of change that changes the trajectory of student lives.

Philanthropy at Widener is rooted in possibility, access, and progress. Your giving reflects a commitment to expanding opportunities, enriching academic and co curricular experiences, and building a stronger future for the entire community.

Powerful Impact

President's Council

The President’s Council represents the university’s premier community of philanthropic leaders. Alumni, parents, friends, faculty, and staff who make investments $2,500 or more per academic year play a vital role in advancing opportunities that shape the student experience and strengthen the university’s future.

Members of the President’s Council help accelerate strategic priorities, expand access, and fuel innovation across campus. Their leadership-level support creates lasting impact in classrooms, labs, studios, and every space where students learn and grow.

Each year, the university brings President’s Council members together to recognize their commitment and to share the powerful outcomes made possible through their generosity. Through connections with students and university leadership, members see how their support drives meaningful change and helps the university thrive. Join The President's Council today!
