KU Alumni provides essential resources that keep alumni and students connected to KU and each other no matter where they are today.
Â
We are incredibly grateful for the support that fuels our mission. Your gift to KU Alumni enriches the Jayhawk experience and helps ensure our programs remain accessible to all.
Previously, alumni and friends could choose to support KU Alumni through membership dues or standalone donations. Over time, this created two communities of changemakers with distinct experiences but shared goals. It’s time our approach to community building and recognition evolved to better connect with and recognize the impact of all our supporters.
Â
For this reason, effective July 1, 2025, we’ll begin phasing out the current membership program and will recognize all financial contributions supporting KU Alumni as charitable gifts. Donors will be part of Jayhawk Faithful – KU’s loyal donor community that thanks supporters across the University!
