Ways to Give - Lipscomb University

Accomplish great things

Lipscomb University was founded more than 125 years ago because two individuals understood that only through generous, faithful hearts are great things accomplished.

Today, generosity is just as important to the university. Students typically can cover only about 75 percent of the cost of their education despite our best efforts to keep the cost of higher education competitive. Donor generosity delivers hundreds of faithful, successful graduates a year to their finish line and a new beginning. Philanthropy, at its heart, is a way to live our Christian faith by example. Because the best way to celebrate God’s gifts is by sharing them.

Give Over Time

Setting up a recurring gift is an example of "giving over time" that allows donors to spread the financial impact of their giving across an entire year. Recurring gifts represent a donor's commitment to provide regular, ongoing support for Lipscomb University. Most recurring gifts are set up as monthly gifts involving automatic payments via a credit card, bank transfer or mailing a monthly check. Recurring gifts are a good way to provide a reliable, steady stream of revenue without a long-term, binding commitment. Contact the Advancement Office at 615-966-6232 to learn more about setting up a recurring gift.

Matching Gifts

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. Use the search tool to find out if your company has a matching gift program.

Endowed Scholarships

Establishing an endowed scholarship is one significant way to fulfill immediate and future needs for providing financial aid to Lipscomb University students. An endowed scholarship provides a permanent and personal way for you to make a difference in a student's life. Scholarships are a lifeline for our students and help turn students' dreams of a college education into reality. Contact the Advancement Office at 615-966-6232 to learn more about establishing an endowed scholarship at Lipscomb University.
