Help Piedmont Continue to Change Lives
Piedmont University has touched the lives of countless people. Graduates, families of graduates, faculty, even members of the communities in which we’re located have all experienced the important work that Piedmont does in creating Lions that go out and make the world a better place.

Whether you want to make a one-time gift, set up a recurring donation, or include the university in your will or trust, Piedmont’s faculty and student body are grateful. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. And by giving to Piedmont, our Lions will roar even louder.
