Giving

Fuel passion. Ignite Curiosity. Make An Impact.

At Christopher Newport, we’re building more than a university. We’re building a foundation to thrive.

Captains thrive in the classroom and on the field. On the stage and in the studio. In service to our neighbors across Hampton Roads and to communities around the world. Captains embrace honor, service, leadership, and scholarship, and they graduate ready to live lives of significance.

But our Captains don’t achieve greatness alone. They need you.

Your generosity fuels their journey.

When you support scholarships, you remove financial barriers so that talented, driven students can become leaders regardless of their circumstances.

When you invest in endowed professorships, you attract and retain exceptional faculty who inspire and challenge our students.

When you give to athletics, the arts, or study abroad, you open doors to experiences that transform lives.

And when you give to the Captains Impact Fund, you send a powerful message of trust, allowing Christopher Newport to respond to challenges, seize new opportunities, and pursue excellence at every turn.

Your support doesn’t just fund programs, it changes lives. It creates a ripple effect of impact that extends far beyond campus, into the communities our graduates serve with integrity and purpose.

Together, we will continue to build a community anchored in excellence, ready to meet the world’s needs with courage and compassion.
