Annual Giving
The Augustana Fund
The three main drivers of our annual budget are tuition and fees, endowment draw and the Augustana Fund.
Each year the $2 million to $2.5 million raised for the Augustana Fund bolsters our strategic initiatives, strengthens our programs and promotes the success of our 2,500 students.
These funds come in big and small gifts from alumni, friends and parents. They are especially important because they are flexible, allowing us to respond to unexpected challenges and to new opportunities that create an outstanding academic environment and vibrant college life.
Viking Club

The Viking Club currently supports 700+ student-athletes and 29 varsity sports. In addition to making a gift through membership, Viking Club members also support diversity and inclusion, career development and engagement.
Friends of Music
