Help philosophy thrive at UB

Support from alumni, families and friends helps Philosophy at the University at Buffalo create meaningful learning experiences, advance the research frontier and connect ideas to real-world challenges through our community partnerships. Your support makes a direct difference for students and faculty.

Why your support matters

Private support helps Philosophy at the University at Buffalo expand opportunities beyond what tuition and public funding provide. Your gifts directly support students, faculty and work that connects philosophical ideas to real-world challenges.

Your support helps:

  • Fund undergraduate and graduate student research, travel and professional development
  • Support faculty and student collaboration across disciplines
  • Sustain lectures, events and public dialogue
  • Strengthen areas such as applied ontology and philosophy, politics and economics

Every contribution helps students gain the skills and experiences they need for careers and graduate study.

Ways to get involved

Support takes many forms. You can:

  • Make a one-time or recurring gift
  • Contribute to student-focused funds
  • Give in honor or memory of a mentor or loved one
  • Stay connected through events and department activities
