Missed One Ball State Day? You can still make an impact.
Proud Ball State Parents & Families

We Heard the Call!

We are proud of the work being done at Ball State, and as members of the Parents & Families Advisory Council, we are answering the call to serve with our time, talent, and treasure. Our Call to Beneficence is Ball State's ambitious campaign to provide student opportunity and success, to enrich the academic experience, and expand the campus and community impact.

We believe in our children and support them every day, and we’re not alone. Alumni, friends, fans, parents, corporations, foundations and others who are committed to student success. Last year, in our inaugural OBSD ask, we raised over $3K to support our students. Because of your generosity, the Parents and Families Advisory Council awarded three scholarships to incoming first year students. We are grateful for private support as it helps offset what tuition and fees can’t cover.


Do You Hear the Call?

We're inviting you today to join us as parent and family donors. It is true that every gift adds up to make a difference. We look forward to sharing the storis of the impact of your generosity. Donations to the Parents Fund support immediate student needs, campus events and scholarships.



Collectively, our financial contributions as parents, families, and friends have a direct and positive impact on every student at Ball State University.
