Queens Fund

The Queens Fund is the university’s most powerful tool for meeting immediate needs and creating lasting impact. It provides the flexible, unrestricted support that allows Queens to say “yes” to opportunity, including launching new academic programs, supporting a student in crisis, or enhancing the learning environment across campus.

Your gift to the Queens Fund helps the university:

• Respond quickly to urgent needs and bold new ideas
• Unlock access through scholarships and financial aid
• Invest in academic excellence by supporting top-tier faculty and programs
• Fuel experiential learning through internships, research, and global study
• Enrich campus life with leadership programs, wellness resources, and student activities.

When you give, you are doing more than supporting a university. You are helping a first-generation college student stay enrolled. You are giving a future nurse, artist, educator, or entrepreneur the resources to thrive. You are fueling experiences that shape character, build confidence, and prepare graduates to lead with purpose in a complex world. Your gift strengthens the entire Queens community.

Participation matters. Impact grows with every donor. And every gift makes a difference.

$1.1 million was given to the Queens Fund in the 2025 giving year from 1,150 donors.

“I give because I believe in paying it forward. My college journey was made possible by people who invested in me and my future success. I want to be part of the reason why a future Royal has the same opportunity to thrive at Queens.”

Throughout the year, the Queens community comes together to celebrate and strengthen the university we love. Two of the most powerful ways to get involved are during QUnited and Giving Tuesday.

QUnited

QUnited is Queens University’s annual day of giving, a celebration of the power of community, philanthropy, and school spirit. It’s a day when Royals from across the globe come together to make a collective impact through the Queens Fund.

Whether you’re supporting scholarships, academics, student experiences, or areas of greatest need, QUnited is your chance to be part of something bigger. Every gift helps unlock challenges, inspire others, and fuel opportunities for today’s students.

Together, we meet the moment, advancing bold ideas and transforming lives.

Giving Tuesday

On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Queens joins the global movement to give back and make a difference. This Global Day of Generosity celebrates the power individuals have to create positive change in their communities. At Queens, we proudly honor our students and alumni who live out our motto: “Not to be served, but to serve.” Plan to follow along throughout the days leading up to Giving Tuesday as we spotlight Royals who are making a meaningful difference in the world around them.

This year, on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, we invite alumni, families, and friends to come together in support of the Queens Fund. When you give, you open doors through scholarships and fuel experiences that shape leaders, thinkers, and change-makers.

Royal Society

With an annual gift of $1,857 or more (with incremental levels for young alumni), Royal Society members sustain the Queens Fund with leadership support. Their commitment is both generous and visionary, providing the resources that empower students, energize faculty, and elevate the university as a whole. Young alumni have adjusted levels to accommodate their life stages.
