Thank you for considering the UF College of Nursing in your giving. Private support can assist the college with recruitment and retention of much-needed faculty to teach the best and brightest students, conduct innovative research and provide the most advanced clinical training for our future nurses.
We are extremely grateful to those who have generously supported our programs and endeavors. Your support is helping to provide the highest quality patient care for all and allows our students and faculty to CARE, LEAD and INSPIRE.

Impact of Giving
With the latest news that UF is ranked as a top 10 public university, 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.
