Supporting Our Programs Financially

You can make a transformative difference in the lives of today's students, who are the leaders of the future. For those of us in the public sector, these are indeed difficult times with unprecedented challenges. It is now we need leaders who are risk-takers and innovators who will help address our economic and social problems. You can support the program of your choice. Contributions are made securely through the KU Endowment Association.
