The Drake Fund
The Drake Fund supports the highest priorities of the University each year. Gifts to The Drake Fund provide flexible dollars for use to meet our most immediate and urgent needs. This can include critical financial aid for our students, technology upgrades, and investment in opportunities to better deliver on our mission.
Tuition covers only 67% of Drake’s yearly operating budget. Annual support is critical in filling this gap. Your support of The Drake Fund has an immediate impact on our ability to deliver a world-class education and enables us to make the most of every opportunity to enrich the student experience for current and future generations of Bulldogs.
