Constantin Foundation Grant: a dollar for dollar match

Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Constantin have supported the university since it began and have continued their generous support through the years. The university’s Constantin College of Liberal Arts is named in their honor.
This year the University of Dallas received a $1.5 million challenge grant from the Constantin Foundation. This grant will be in place for three years to help meet the most critical needs of the University.
How does a challenge grant work? The Constantin Foundation will match dollar for dollar every “new” dollar that is donated to the University. If you are a new donor and you donate $50 the Constantin Foundation will donate $50. If you have donated before, every dollar that you give above your last donation will be matched. In other words, if your last donation was $100 and you new donation is $150, the Constantin Foundation will donate $50.
