Sustainability at the Heart of Giving

By supporting the next generation of environmental leaders, you make it possible for our faculty and students to find solutions that ensure humankind will enjoy a bountiful and responsible co-existence with a flourishing natural world.

 

Annual Gifts to our Fund for Excellence

Financial resources strategically targeted to meet a critical need can have a transformative impact on the life of the Bren School. Annual contributions to our Fund for Excellence are used by the Dean wherever the need is greatest. Gifts to the Fund for Excellence support everything from the acquisition of new hardware and software for the School to student, faculty, program and facility support. Endowment gifts to the Fund for Excellence can, with Presidential approval, enable us to permanently associate a donor's name with selected spaces in Bren Hall.

Endowed gifts may be pledged over as many as five years and donors may select from a range of naming opportunities.
