As an independent nonprofit university, PLU has two primary sources of revenue – tuition and gift support. The Office of Advancement works to raise charitable contributions, which support the mission of Pacific Lutheran University. Contributions are made in a variety of ways and used to enhance the programs and services that make a PLU education distinctive.
Whether you assist funding a special project, center, department, etc. or want to make a donation – we hope you will find necessary resources here.
