Gifts to the College of Veterinary Medicine have a wide-reaching impact. Your donations benefit the animals we treat, the students we teach, and the research we conduct.
WAYS TO MAKE AN IMPACT
When you choose to make a gift to the College of Veterinary Medicine, it’s not only the animals we treat that will benefit from your support. Your gift can help fund research, provide scholarships, improve human health, and so much more. All gifts, no matter their size, can make a big impact. And now, when state funding is dropping and tuition, in response, is increasing, financial support from our donors has never been so critical. Below are some ways you can support the College of Veterinary Medicine. Visit our Giving Opportunities for a complete list of funds. You can also contact us for information about estate gifts, matching gifts, and more. Thank you for your generosity and your support of the College of Veterinary Medicine.
