Operation Endowment
DePaul athletics fundraising efforts will focus on endowing scholarships and other programs. Annually, athletics spends nearly $5 million on scholarship expenses for its more than 200 student-athletes. By endowing scholarships, DePaul athletics will have the opportunity to enhance scholarships in some sports and redistribute available funding to maximize the department’s resources.
Leave a Legacy
A gift of $50,000 is needed to name a scholarship in your name or to honor someone of the donor’s choosing. That gift will live on, providing scholarship resources for student-athletes as well as strengthening DePaul Athletics’ financial future. All gifts can be made in pledges over five years. Planned gifts are encouraged.

Ray Meyer Endowed Scholarship for Men’s Basketball
Last year the DePaul family showed its generosity by enhancing the Ray Meyer Scholarship by more than $260,000. In all, the Ray Meyer Scholarship totals more than a million dollars which annually yields a little more than one full scholarship per year. All gifts of more than $100 to the fund are recognized with a special commemorative coin.
Maggie Dixon Endowed Scholarship for Women’s Basketball
Due to the generosity of Laurette Heinz, grandmother of former men’s basketball manager Michael Natale, an endowed scholarship has been named to continue the legacy of Maggie Dixon. In addition, a large number of contributions were made at the Maggie Dixon Memorial Mass to enhance the endowment. If you would like to make a gift to this fund or any other, please call 773-325-7240.
