Philanthropy Across Campus
“PHiL” (a.k.a. philanthropy) is everywhere! Everyone and every location at the University of Delaware is impacted by philanthropy.
PHiL is in the Little Bob, encouraging students to participate in varsity and club sports. PHiL is in Worrilow Hall, offering cutting-edge research opportunities. PHiL is in the Wellbeing Center at Warner Hall, hosting student wellness programs.

How Phil Helps Blue Hens
Each Blue Hen story begins with the donors who make their experiences possible. These UD students reflect on their unique journeys and thank those who helped them along the way.

GET INVOLVED
True Blue Hens
All student donors are automatically welcomed into the True Blue Hen Loyalty Society, which recognizes donors who make a gift to UD—of any amount—every year. Alumni, friends, faculty, staff and other donors are required to give at least three consecutive years to be included in the True Blue Hen Loyalty Society, but as a student donor, you receive the same recognition benefits as UD’s most loyal annual donors after making your FIRST gift! You will remain in the True Blue Hen Loyalty Society as long as you continue to make an annual gift to UD.
Class of 2025 Giving
As a graduating student, you have the opportunity to give back to the UD programs, organizations, team or causes that have positively impacted your time at UD. A gift of any amount makes a difference, and 100% of your gift will go directly to the fund you choose to support. Pay it forward for the next generation of Blue Hens by supporting the UD cause you love.
Class of 2025 donors will be recognized in the True Blue Hen Loyalty Society, will receive an exclusive graduation honor cord and charm and will be invited to the spring Scoops of Thanks!
UD Bucket List
The UD Bucket List engages Blue Hens with experiences that best define what it means to be a part of the UD community. Participants share UD traditions, stay connected and build the common bond of being #BlueHensForever.
