Why Giving Matters

You are here: Home Why Giving Matters

Most of us want a better world.

  • A world where income is not a barrier to college.
  • A world where debilitating diseases don’t exist.
  • A world where our communities are healthy, safe and prosperous.
  • A world where sustainability is the norm.
  • A world where the arts and creative expression are valued.

By giving to the University of Louisville, you help create a better tomorrow. Every day, UofL’s faculty, staff and students are working to save and improve lives. They do this through research, community involvement and the arts.

There are literally thousands of ways you can make a difference when you give to UofL. Interested in ending Parkinson’s? Training excellent teachers? Helping an engineering student explore alternative energy? Advancing social justice? Helping a student attend college? Strengthening families? Encouraging entrepreneurship? It’s all possible at UofL.

Your gifts are tax-deductible and will support the areas you choose. You can give to a UofL school or college’s Alumni Fund to cover its most urgent needs, or you may select a purpose of special interest to you, such as a scholarship program, UofL Libraries, a research area, a department or building initiative. Whatever you choose, your gift will make a difference and will support the area you designate.

Although UofL is a public university, less than half its budget comes from tuition and state support. Your gifts help pay for priorities that can’t be funded any other way. Thank you for making a difference!
