Ways to Give

Providing our students with an education that transforms their lives is a top priority for the College of Arts and Sciences.  Few people realize that UB receives only twenty percent of its operating budget from New York State.  Through gifts that create endowments, provide annual support, or pledge support for the future, donors create the possibilities that cannot be realized through state and federal funding alone. 

You can direct your Annual Fund gift to any of the departments or programs Arts and Sciences - or directly to the Dean's Innovation Fund, where it will be used for the most pressing needs in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Gifts may be made in a variety of forms, including cash, securities, and real estate, or through planned gifts, such as bequests.  Gifts to the University at Buffalo are tax-deductible to the full extent of the Internal Revenue Code.
