Overview

The Development Office is your one-stop-shop for making a gift that impacts the lives of deaf and hard of hearing students. In addition to fundraising, we partner with faculty, staff, and administrators to develop competitive external grant proposals.

A financial contribution of any amount enables Gallaudet to grow workforce-ready graduates and create life-changing opportunities for deaf and hard of hearing students.

Whether you decide to support Gallaudet by making an annual gift, a special gift, or a planned gift, we’re grateful for your support.

Gallaudet also gratefully accepts gifts made by corporations and foundations, gifts-in-kind, and corporate matching gifts. Please consider giving online or contact us about other ways you can support Gallaudet University.
