To give to LAU is to invest
in the future of Lebanon.

It is a gesture of hope, a commitment to knowledge, and a tribute to the enduring spirit of our youth. Your generosity sustains access to education, fuels research and innovation, and empowers the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders-those who will shape the destiny of our nation. Every gift, no matter its form, is a meaningful contribution to the university’s mission and to the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

Gifts to the Lebanese American University are tax-deductible in the United States. You may designate your gift to a specific school, to a vital program, to the University at large, or to one of many impactful funds. Both endowment and current-use gifts are vital to LAU’s sustainability. We are deeply grateful for your support and are honored to assist you in finding the method of giving that best suits your intentions.

“It is said that ‘True giving is not about the redemption of the giver, but the liberation of the receiver. When you give to education, you will liberate generations.”
