The mission of the Creighton University Office of Development is to secure maximum financial and volunteer support for the University by conducting fundraising programs that focus on annual giving, capital giving and deferred giving.

The development office seeks to identify, inform and involve a wide range of constituents who may be solicited for the support of the University, its schools and colleges, centers and institutes, and other programs as directed by the president of Creighton University. These constituents include: alumni, parents, friends, employees, corporations, foundations, vendors and those served by the University's various educational health clinics.

In all cases, the Office of Development strives to match donors’ interests with institutional needs, and considers the stewardship of donors' gifts of paramount importance.

The Office of Development is guided by the vice president for University Relations and is divided into these major programs:

• Principal Gifts
• Sustaining Gifts
• Major Gifts
• Estate and Trust Services
• Corporate and Foundation Relations
• Advancement Operations
• Donor Relations
