THE CAMPAIGN FOR CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY

LIFTING LIVES. LEADING THE WAY.

The Campaign for CAU “Lifting Lives. Leading the Way.”

Grounded in our institutional values that were instilled more than a century ago, we now turn an eye toward the next 150 years of shaping students who think, lead, and act.

The Campaign for Clark Atlanta University is our first comprehensive campaign. Centered on Lifting Lives and Leading the Way, the 10-year, ambitious campaign aims to raise $250 million to support catalytic investments in students, faculty, infrastructure, and initiatives that distinguish Clark Atlanta as an institution of choice.

INVESTMENT BREAKDOWN

CAMPAIGN FOR CAU PRIORITIES

$110 MILLION

Our top priority “Student Access & Success” represents the largest portion of the campaign, Clark Atlanta is committed to generating $110 million to fund scholarships and support student access, retention, and success.

When coupled together, these investments will have a significant impact on our scholars’ retention, persistence, graduation rate, and success following their time at Clark Atlanta University. Lifting the lives of students and helping them lead the way is central to our mission as an institution and is reflected as a top priority of our fundraising campaign.

$140 MILLION

REMAINING PRIORITIES

The remaining three priorities are committed to generating $140 million, centered around faculty and academic excellence, campus infrastructure, and areas of excellence.

The Student Recruitment and Retention Fund

Helping CAU Recruit and Retain its Students

This appeal will help CAU recruit and retain its student population.

Charitable investments made between now and the beginning of the fall semester, via this appeal, will help bridge the tuition gap for our students.  Often a small dollar amount creates the “tuition gap” that stands between a student’s continued
enrollment and having to “stop” or “drop” out. 
 
This fundraising effort will help maximize the number of students enrolled at CAU!

LEADING THE WAY

Leading The Way Together

Our vision of being a leading institution of higher learning that impacts society through transformative, educational experiences is within reach. Supporting our scholars is always at the center of our work, and through this campaign, we will be able to broaden and deepen the services available to every student, every year. 

Philanthropic commitments to Clark Atlanta are an investment in the bright futures of Clark Atlanta University students and will help ensure we continue building on our mission of delivering education that is accessible, relevant, and transformative. With generous partners we are confident that we too can help lead the way. 

At Clark Atlanta, finding a way or making a way is a community endeavor.

GIVE TO CAU TODAY!

Together we will build upon the strong foundation laid before us to provide an exceptional education. As W.E.B. DuBois said, "Education is that whole system of human training within and without the schoolhouse walls, which molds and develops men."

Lifting the lives of students and helping them lead the way is central to our mission as an institution and is reflected as a top priority of our fundraising campaign.
