Philanthropy Across Campus
PHiL is everywhere at UD. And chances are, you’ve already met.
PHiL, short for philanthropy, helps make scholarships, lab equipment, student organizations and countless Blue Hen experiences possible.
You’ll spot PHiL at the Little Bob, helping students get in the game. In Worrilow Hall, PHiL is fueling research and discovery. And at the Wellbeing Center at Warner Hall, PHiL is helping students recharge, connect and thrive.
Join UD in celebrating all that PHiL does during Philanthropy Week, November 15 through November 20.
Look around. Where will you meet PHiL?
Be Like PhiL. Do some good.

How Phil Helps Blue Hens
Each Blue Hen story begins with the donors who make their experiences possible. These UD alumni reflect on their unique journeys and thank those who helped them along the way.

GET INVOLVED
True Blue Hens
All student donors are automatically welcomed into the True Blue Hen Loyalty Society, which recognizes donors who make a gift to UD—of any amount—every year. Alumni, friends, faculty, staff and other donors are required to give at least three consecutive years to be included in the True Blue Hen Loyalty Society, but as a student donor, you receive the same recognition benefits as UD’s most loyal annual donors after making your FIRST gift! You will remain in the True Blue Hen Loyalty Society as long as you continue to make an annual gift to UD.
Class of 2027 Giving
Celebrate what made your time at UD special by giving back to the teams, programs, and causes you love. Every dollar you give goes directly to the fund you select. Make an impact today and empower future Blue Hens.
UD Bucket List
The UD Bucket List engages Blue Hens with experiences that best define what it means to be a part of the UD community. Participants share UD traditions, stay connected and build the common bond of being #BlueHensForever.
