ONE DAY. ONE KU. has ended, but your support makes a difference every day. You can still make a gift.
Area of Greatest Need

Gifts to the Greater KU Fund position the University of Kansas to address the highest priorities, opportunities and needs for students, faculty, staff and communities across Kansas and beyond. Your unrestricted gift to The Greater KU Fund is vital to advance and elevate the daily lives of students and faculty—those at the heart of KU—through scholarships and fellowships; faculty initiatives and awards; international engagement; and university programs and events. By supporting the Greater KU Fund, you are partnering to build a greater University of Kansas for all. Current priorities supported by the Greater KU Fund include these three essential areas of need:

  • Student Affairs: Enriching the student experience is key for expanding experiential learning opportunities, including internships, research initiatives and service learning. The Greater KU Fund provides critical resources necessary to create innovative courses and keeps teaching technology state of the art.
  • Research Excellence: Scholars and students at KU are continually recognized and appreciated for cutting-edge research. The Greater KU Fund allows faculty and students to conduct in-depth and meaningful research by means of research awards and grants.
  • Kansas Outreach: The impact of the University of Kansas can be felt throughout the entire state of Kansas. Jayhawks are working with Kansas communities to advance and strengthen society. Faculty members are partnering with rural and urban areas to increase access to new programs and services that support everyone’s right to a quality life. The Greater KU Fund supports faculty by means of professorships and teaching awards.

Support to the University of Kansas Medical Center Unrestricted Gifts Fund lays the groundwork for shaping the next generation of compassionate health care professionals pursuing careers throughout Kansas and beyond. Our most important priority is to support faculty, students, patients and researchers, who are at the heart of our aspirations and the engine for our future. 

Thank you for your partnership to build a greater University of Kansas!
