The Siena Annual Fund directly supports the heart of our mission — to be a learning community that advances the ideals of a liberal arts education, rooted in our Franciscan and Catholic identity. This is mission-based philanthropy in action: a powerful force that sustains and strengthens our tradition of educating compassionate, ethical leaders. Annual gifts do more than address immediate needs — they reflect a shared commitment to a values-driven education that transforms lives. Every dollar entrusted to Siena helps ensure our students are prepared to serve, lead, and make a meaningful difference in the world. When you give to the Siena Annual Fund, you turn belief in our mission into transformative action.
Support for the Area of Greatest Need provides Siena with the flexibility to address its most urgent and high-impact priorities. These contributions offer vital support for students, faculty, and the campus community—allowing Siena to respond quickly to emerging opportunities and challenges.
Academic programs are at the core of the Education for a Lifetime, shaping both student experiences and faculty impact. With more than 90 areas of study, Siena prepares students not just for careers, but for lives of purpose. Your support drives innovative teaching, hands-on learning, and the cutting-edge resources that help Siena rank among the top 2% of U.S. colleges and universities.
While Saints receive a top-tier academic experience, much of their personal growth happens outside the classroom. Your support of co-curricular life helps foster a vibrant student experience—full of connection, exploration, and community. It’s in these moments that lifelong friendships are formed, passions are discovered, and Franciscan values are lived.
A gift to Financial Aid helps make a Siena education more affordable and accessible. Your support ensures that talented students—regardless of financial background—can benefit from a life-changing education. Together, we remove barriers, open doors, and help shape the next generation of compassionate leaders and lifelong learners.
Ranked among the 50 most beautiful campuses by Conde Nast, Siena is known for its welcoming, well-kept environment. Your support helps sustain and enhance the green spaces, walkways, and buildings that make campus feel like home—while promoting long-term beauty and environmental stewardship.
The Parents & Family Fund is a vital part of the Siena Annual Fund, providing unrestricted support that directly enhances the student experience. Your gift strengthens student life, career services, academic programs, and access to cutting-edge technology. Through this fund, families play a meaningful role in delivering Siena’s promise of an Education for a Lifetime—helping every Saint thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. Together, we ensure that every Saint is supported, empowered, and prepared to make a lasting impact.
