Our alumni are living proof of the value of a Holy Cross education. All you have to do is turn on the evening news to see the impact Crusaders are making on the world in public ways, as well as in very local ways. In coming together, we can support today’s students when they need our help the most – because the world needs our graduates more than ever.
We begin this day with tremendous support. Our Board of Trustees has stepped forward for Holy Cross in the past, and today is no different. A group of Trustees who originally planned to lead our giving day with challenge dollars has generously offered to fulfill their commitments today, totaling $1.1 million, in recognition that our students need support now more than ever.
If you are able, your gift to the College on April 17 supports the next generation
of Holy Cross leaders - leaders who will take on the challenges of tomorrow.
Let’s come together to care for our students and our community.
Let’s show the world the Power of Purple.
With the impact of COVID-19, we are prioritizing giving options and funds that directly support our students and emergency needs:
- Holy Cross Fund: Unrestricted gifts to the annual fund offer the College important flexibility to be nimble in times of uncertainty. The Holy Cross Fund supports all areas of the academic enterprise and the Holy Cross community.
- Emergency Relief Fund: Established to help meet the unanticipated travel, technology and emergency financial aid needs of our students affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
- Financial Aid: Holy Cross is committed to meeting the full demonstrated need of all admitted students. Given today’s financial environment, the need for financial aid support is greater than ever.
- Crusader Athletics Fund: Gifts to CAF provide the flexibility needed to support student-athletes during this period of distance learning so they can continue to develop and return to campus, ready to compete at their highest level of excellence.
- Bishop Healy Emergency Fund: Assists ALANA students by creating a last resort safety net of funds for emergency expenses, including books and resources for classes, travel and other basic needs.
Gifts to other designations may be made by calling the Holy Cross Fund office toll free at 877-433-1843.
THANK YOU. You answered our call for help when our students and community needed it most. The world needs Holy Cross graduates now more than ever and we are incredibly grateful to all who have united to support one another and show the world the Power of Purple.
As you know, we began this day with tremendous support from our Board of Trustees who committed $1.1 million in recognition of this important effort. We end the day with 3,926 donors and $2.3 million raised. What an incredible day for the Holy Cross community!

When challenges arise, Crusaders rise to meet them. Never has that been more evident than during this year’s Day of Giving. At a time of national and global crisis, Crusaders around the country continue to come together, ensuring that our mission continues, and to help fortify the College’s efforts to support our students and the campus community.
With two hours left, thank you for supporting Holy Cross and for helping to show the world the Power of Purple!
1856 days ago by Christene Kauffman RiendeauThe generosity of the Holy Cross community is truly inspiring. Crusaders from across the country (and world) are rising to the occasion today and what it means to be men and women for others. If you are one of the 2,300 donors who already made a gift today, thank you.
We thought you would appreciate an update from Father Boroughs and enjoy seeing what is blooming on Mount St. James.
1856 days ago by Christene Kauffman RiendeauThe day is still early, but the extraordinary generosity of the Holy Cross community is inspiring! So far, more than 1,000 gifts have been made and we have received more than $600,000 in support of our students, faculty and staff.
Thank you for your advocacy and generosity; we are so grateful for your support.
We are truly showing the world the Power of Purple!
