Frequently Asked Questions
As a faculty or staff member, why should I give to JWU?
As an integral member of the JWU Community, you are already one of Johnson & Wales' most passionate supporters. Your work is critical to the success of our students and our university. Many employees also choose to make a gift each year to amplify their support and help strengthen JWU for the future.
The university relies on charitable giving to sustain the unique JWU experience. Did you know that more than 97% of Johnson & Wales students receive financial aid? The cost of tuition does not fully fund scholarships, nor can it cover important experiences outside the classroom like clubs and organizations, experiential learning, and athletics. These are just a few of the areas your gift can help bolster.
Your gift is a vote of confidence in JWU, and strong faculty and staff giving can encourage support from other members of the Johnson & Wales community as well as foundations and corporate donors.
What does my gift support?
It's up to you! You can select the area that means the most to you—whether that's athletics, Residential Life or the college of your choice.
How do I make my gift?
Most faculty and staff choose to set up a payroll deduction—it's easy to get started and you can "set it and forget it!" The amount you designate will be automatically deducted from each paycheck you receive.
Or, you can explore additional ways to give.
