Support Vanderbilt University Belonging & Communities on Giving Day!

Every Gift, A Step Forward.
On Vanderbilt Giving Day 2025, every gift, no matter the size, takes us one step closer to achieving bold new heights.

Why Give to Belonging & Communities?
Belonging & Communities at Vanderbilt is about creating a university environment where everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. We recognize that each individual brings unique perspectives and experiences to our community, and we’re committed to fostering spaces where people can connect, grow, and engage meaningfully across differences.

Your generosity supports vital programs and centers that promote belonging for students across campus, including:

• Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center
• Center for Spiritual and Religious Life
• K.C. Potter Center for LGBTQI Life
• Margaret Cuninggim Women’s Center
• Student Center for Belonging and Communities
• Belonging Initiatives

This spirit of connection extends well beyond graduation. Vanderbilt’s alumni affinity groups provide opportunities for alumni to connect through shared identities and experiences. Current identity-based alumni communities include:

• AAPI Association of Vanderbilt Alumni (AAVA)
• Association of Vanderbilt Black Alumni (AVBA)
• LGBTQIA+ Association of Vanderbilt Alumni (LAVA)
• Vanderbilt Association of Hispanic and Latinx Alumni (VAHLA)

Each group is spotlighting funds that reflect and uplift their communities this Giving Day.
