Types of Giving
Annual
There are more than 200 annual funds across the University of Rochester and its Medical Center. These are unrestricted, current-use funds that provide school, unit, and department leaders with the ability to take advantage of new opportunities and meet unexpected needs. They typically support operations, educational programs, scholarships, research, patient care, improvements to facilities, and similar initiatives. Learn more.
Endowed
Endowment gifts are invested and managed by the University in perpetuity. A portion of the investment earnings is spent, while the original gifts are preserved as principal. In this way, endowed gifts have far greater earning power; a one-time gift lasts forever. Learn more.
Planned
Gift planning helps you integrate your personal and family financial goals with your charitable giving. We would be pleased to work with you and your professional advisor to develop a gift plan. Learn more.
Make A Gift
A gift of any amount to one of the hundreds of available funds at the University and its Medical Center provides critical support that can be used immediately to help students, the faculty, researchers, patients, and thousands of others who benefit from the University’s service.
