Drake’s Phonathon program is one of the ways we stay connected with our community of alumni, parents, supporters, and friends.

Who Is Calling Me?

If you received a call from 515-271-2129, that was from one of our student callers right here on campus! The Drake Phonathon program employs current students to reach out via the phone to share news about Drake, offer opportunities to stay engaged, update contact information and ask for financial support for Drake University. During the academic year, our callers will speak with more than 2,000 donors and help raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. These funds support a variety of initiatives across campus, such as scholarships, athletics, the arts, student life, and more!

We hope you can take a few minutes to connect with a fellow Bulldog when you see Drake calling. Our students want to build relationships and would love to hear about your Drake experience.

Can’t talk right now?

Make your gift online! Your generosity directly impacts Drake students of today and tomorrow.
