Igniting the Charge of Individual Development

$2.4 million

Individual growth and development is what undergraduates consistently sight as a major benefit of the DU experience, and the Ignite The Charge Campaign seeks to eliminate the 62% of educational programming costs that currently rest on the backs of our undergraduates, chapters and local alumni. Eliminating this financial burden will ensure every undergraduate seeking leadership and personal development will be able to attend DU’s award-winning programs.
