Why Give to Ouachita?
"There is one pleasure that the human being cannot tire of, and that is the pleasure that comes from helping someone who really needs you." – Author Unknown
Giving to Ouachita will always meet the spirit of this quote. The return on an investment made in a Ouachita student is a life changed. For over 119 years students’ lives have been changed at Ouachita and the effect of that is multiplied as they continue to serve in vocations and volunteer roles throughout the nation and world.
Specific giving opportunities that enable Ouachita to continue to invest in students include:
- You wish to demonstrate your loyalty to Ouachita through giving.
- You believe in the importance of educating and training tomorrow's leaders while remaining faithful to Ouachita's historically Baptist and Christian values and beliefs
- You or someone you love had the opportunity to have the Ouachita experience and you realize the profound impact it can have on an individual's life
- You want to make a difference in the life of a student, professor, or person or group of people who would benefit from your generosity
- Honoring or remembering a loved one, former professor or anyone who helped make your Ouachita experience possible.
- Leaving a legacy through a planned gift
- Returning thanks for an investment made in your Ouachita experience. This can be accomplished by committing to give support equal to that which you received while a student at Ouachita.
