Our Call to Beneficence

The Campaign for Ball State University is an unprecedented initiative that has raised more than $350 million in philanthropic gifts across three key pillars – Ensure Student Success, Enrich the Academic Experience, and Expand Campus and Community Impact. With one year remaining in the campaign and having surpassed the initial goal, we are now striving to raise $400+ million to further invest in our students, faculty, staff and community.

Let’s do good today so that Ball State can do good tomorrow.
