UC Annual Giving

Gifts to the University of Cincinnati provide a vital source of unrestricted operating income for the University, its colleges and programs. Annual gifts help offset reductions in state funding, allowing the University to support its students and faculty where the need is greatest.

You may designate your gift to a specific college or program within UC. Because annual gifts are expendable during the year they are received, your gift has an immediate impact on our students and the University.

As an annual donor to UC, your gift makes a difference in the lives of individual UC students. Whether it supports scholarship funding, classroom or library materials, technological upgrades or student programs or services, your gift enhances the UC educational experience. And your gift adds value to your own degree by ensuring that UC builds upon its excellent reputation for years to come!

Your annual gift to UC - whether it be $25 or $25,000 – allows UC to replenish the resources needed to continue offering an outstanding education at an affordable cost. So please make your gift online today and invest in UC's mission of providing world-renowned scholarship, innovation and community service! Your gift of $1,000 or more qualifies you for membership and benefits of the Tower of Strength Society.

Matching Gifts

You may not realize that many companies sponsor programs that enable their employees and retirees to double or triple their personal contributions to higher education. To find out if your company or parent company has a matching gift program, please visit our Matching Gift Directory. Maximize the impact of your gift to UC with a matching gift.

The process is simple – just contact your human resources department and ask for a matching gift form, fill it out, and forward it to the UC Foundation. Foundation staff will verify the form, return it to your employer, and the company will then issue a matching gift to UC.

Digital Philanthropy Center

At the Digital Philanthropy Center, student fundraisers call, text and email alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends each year. Our students will share the latest happenings on campus, gather updates from constituents, and offer the opportunity to give back to a UC cause. Student fundraisers learn the real value of giving back to their alma mater, receive professional development, and support the pursuit of excellence that characterizes the University of Cincinnati. The call center has served the UC community with part-time fundraising jobs and philanthropic education since the 1980s!
