About

The student experience at Capital is unique to every individual. It is their major, their organization, their athletic team, their connections with professors, their friendships, and so much more. It’s what they will remember and cherish when they leave Capital.  

Your support to the Capital Fund allows the university to provide a home away from home for our students to cultivate and develop their unique experience. Your support to the Capital Fund will provide resources to keep our campus a place students and alumni can enjoy together. Your support to the Capital Fund will ensure that our area's greatest needs are met and will propel us in our mission to build the legacy of Capital University for years to come. 

Be the Spark and illuminate possibilities with us by making your gift. Thank you for sharing your light!
