CUKC Mission Trips are an integral part of global engagement and the social responsibility of our institution. Mission trips provide opportunities for students and faculty to serve communities in need, learn about diverse cultures, and develop leadership skills. Support for mission trips can help cover travel expenses, provide supplies, and enable more students and faculty to participate in these life-changing experiences. Donations empower CUKC students to become compassionate leaders equipped to tackle complex global challenges.
CUKC has a remarkable opportunity with the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant offered by the state of Kansas. Between now and September 2024, CUKC can receive a match of $1 for every $3 raised. To receive this funding, the University must raise $1 million by that September deadline. This could result in a combined $1.4 million or more coming to CUKC. You may request that your donation be directed exclusively to the ARPA grant.
Does your company offer donation matching? Your gift could double in size instantly, and be directed to the area of your choosing at CUKC. The Cleveland College Foundation Fund, Inc. is a 501c(3) not-for-profit organization with the purpose of sustaining the University’s rich history, while helping advance its future through the financial support of the CUKC mission of education, scholarship, and service. All gifts to the Foundation make a difference and are tax-deductible (please consult with your tax advisor).
