Giving to the Biden School

Columns on a building on UD Campus

“We are a nation of promise and possibilities, of dreamers and doers, of ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things.”

- President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

The Biden School: Investing in a Future of Promise and Possibilities

At the Biden School, we are preparing the next generation of leaders to carry that promise forward.

Inspired by President Biden’s legacy, we equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to protect democracy, serve with integrity, and shape public policies that create meaningful change.

Through hands-on learning and civic engagement, our students confront today’s most pressing challenges with courage, civility, and purpose. 

Your support funds scholarships, research, and innovative programs that empower these future leaders to shape a more just and equitable society. 

By investing in the Biden School, you are helping build a future of promise and possibilities. Thank you for standing with us.
