High-Impact opportunities
Inclusion and Belonging
We take great pride in creating a welcoming community that values and celebrates each other's differences and prepares our students for a complex world. Your gift to our Inclusion and Belonging Fund is an investment in initiatives and programs lead by the Office of Student Inclusion and Belonging (OSIB) and furthers Widener's commitment to fostering and enriching campus diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
The Student Emergency Fund (Chester Campus)
This fund provides immediate assistance to students faced with pressing, unmet needs due to an emergency.
Student Success Scholarships
Widener's Student Success Scholarships provide financial aid to students who are ready to attend Widener but may need assistance to enroll and complete their degrees. This fund supports students from all walks of life who will go on to do great things with their Widener degrees.

- College of Health & Human Services
- School of Business Administration

The Student Campus Experience
Athletics
You've painted your face blue and gold to cheer on The Pride at homecoming games, played on more intramural teams than you can count, and memorized the routes on the fitness center rock wall as soon as they went up. Sound like you? Make your gift to Widener athletics today.
The Pride Pantry
For some members of our community, food and hygiene insecurity can be a real challenge. The Pride Pantry provides food and hygiene supplies to help ensure that the Pride can focus on their lives ahead.
Student Life
While academic excellence unites us as a Pride, nowhere on campus can the vibrant diversity of our community be better found then after class, in our 80+ clubs and organizations.
From Greek Life to Alternative Spring Break, from the dance company to the rugby team, from the Black Student Union to the jazz ensemble, your gift to student experiences like these ensures that all who come on campus find not only a home, but a rich community of friends that will last long after graduation.
Wolfgram Memorial Library
Wolfgram Memorial Library and its collections are the heart of the academy. Your gift provides the resources the Library and its staff need to provide research and learning opportunities to our students, faculty, staff, and community.
Crowdfunding Initiatives
Widener’s crowdfunding program Roar With Pride unites generous donors with those who make a difference on campus. Crowdfunding is an exclusively internet-based social fundraising effort in which a group of individuals solicit the general public for donations to support a project or initiative with which they are involved, or of which they are supportive.
