Donor Recognition

Donor Recognition

The University was built on the generosity of caring alumni, parents, and friends. Our institution would be a far different place without our dynamic culture of giving, which is built upon awareness that every gift matters and makes a difference. This is because all gifts to UR are interconnected, and each gift is dependent on the giving of others to reach its full potential.

No gift stands alone — all gifts have an impact. We call this the web effect, and it’s powerful.

Donor Recognition Groups

ROBINS CIRCLE

It's not about how much you give. It’s about your loyal support — year after year — for the benefit of our evolving Spider community. For more than 50 years, the Robins name has been synonymous with philanthropy at UR. Today, the Robins Circle honors dedicated donors who have made an annual gift, of any amount, during each of the past three or more consecutive fiscal years.

ENDOWED FUNDS FOR STUDENT SUPPORT

The most direct way to support students is to establish an endowed scholarship or a summer fellowship fund. Naming opportunities exist at established levels.

Meaningful, named support of the University is available through funding the positions of our most accomplished faculty by creating an endowed chair or endowed faculty fellowship.
