Purdue Parents Fund

When a student becomes a Boilermaker, parents and family members become Boilermakers, too. A student’s education is a life-changing journey, and Boilermaker families play an essential role in enhancing the Purdue experience through their support and partnership. By supporting the Parents Fund, including initiatives such as the Big Give, families can continue making a meaningful impact for students.

Gifts to the Parents Fund provide flexible funding that supports Big Give–funded grants, programs and resources that benefit students most. These investments strengthen student well-being and support academic success, career readiness, leadership development and engagement in arts and culture. Together, these opportunities help students thrive by building lasting friendships and social networks and by strengthening a connected Boilermaker community that prepares students to succeed as future leaders, citizens and lifelong learners.
