Impact of Giving
UF is consistantly ranked as a top 10 public university, and the UF College of Nursing is the #1 BSN program in the state! There has never been a better time to invest through UF, knowing that doing so can have a profound impact on the issues that matter most.
The ultimate goal of the campaign is not dollar figures but the impact that philanthropic support can have on those we serve.
Every gift, large or small counts. While a $100,000 donation can endow a scholarship, a $25 donation can help offset the cost of a textbook for a student or medication for a patient.
