We greatly appreciate our donors and benefactors for their continued support for the University and its advocacies. However, recent developments from the recent passage of the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act, or Republic Act 10931, have posed difficulties for private education, namely a marked decrease in student enrollment in private higher education institutions nationwide, in favor of free state university education. In order not only to ensure consistency in providing quality education and leadership formation to students, but also to further extend quality education to more future leaders in Mindanao, the Ateneo de Davao University will need the support, kindness, and generosity of its donors and benefactors.

In time for the University’s 75th anniversary this 2023, the Ateneo de Davao is launching the More Together campaign that aims to provide 75% of its students with some form of scholarship from endowments to the A1 scholarship program. This campaign will help the University fulfill its mission and realize its vision as the premier higher education institution in Mindanao devoted to forming leaders who dedicate themselves to the pursuit of social justice and the common good. With your kindness and generosity, you will help us build more facilities, reach more students, and enrich more experiences together.

The Ateneo de Davao University prides itself as the leading higher education institution in Mindanao that not only forms sui generis leaders trained to pursue excellence for the common good, but also plays an important part in building peace and promoting reconciliation among the diverse cultural and religious communities in Mindanao through intercultural and interreligious dialogue. Through its mission, the University also asserts itself as a force for innovation and scientific development in Mindanao. Its Aerospace Engineering program is the first of its kind in the Philippines.

For over 70 years, the Ateneo de Davao University has provided quality human education to students not only from Davao City but from the whole of Mindanao. We have expanded from a simple wooden campus to three sprawling campuses in Jacinto, Matina, and Bangkal. We have consistently worked to form leaders who are strong in faith that does justice from grade school to college. Our graduates have also claimed great achievements in diverse professions and devoted their careers to the pursuit of excellence and the love of service.

As we look forward to a future that is filled with challenges and hope, we are thrilled to explore new areas, to push more students closer to their dreams, and to lead Mindanao to progress and peace. The More Together campaign is the first step in helping us reach these goals. With your help, we will continue working steadfastly for the fulfillment of our mission and the realization of our vision, for the people of Mindanao.

The Ateneo de Davao University can only take the next steps with your support. Our goal is to raise our needed funds over the course of this five-year campaign, from 2019 to 2023. The funds we gather will push the Ateneo de Davao University to go further: to build more state-of-the-art facilities for its students, to reach more future leaders from the margins of society, and to enrich more formative experiences that connect people o different faiths and traditions.

We can do all these things and more, together.

Endowments are funds established by gifts from generous benefactors of the University. These endowments will fund different scholarships, professorial chairs, and other initiatives of the University.

More Together is a campaign launched in time for the 75th anniversary of the University in 2023. This campaign aims to gather funds that will help the University offer more opportunities for scholarships to more students, to build more cutting-edge facilities to maintain excellence in education, and to construct more religious facilities to enrich more students’ experiences by retreats and recollections or to create more spaces for students of different faiths and cultures to engage in fruitful dialogue.
