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. If Piedmont has touched your heart, there's no more powerful way to give back than by giving to the university.
There are many ways to support Piedmont University, and we deeply appreciate your generosity, understanding that it’s people like you that allow us to achieve our mission. 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.
