Giving Options

Corporations & Foundations

We work with industry and philanthropic leaders to facilitate strategic relationships focused on research, innovative programs and curriculum development, community outreach, and other areas of support in which your goals and ours may overlap. Industrial liaison programs and business development programs can establish new relationships to enhance corporate success.

By matching corporate and private foundation interests with the university's programs and initiatives, the SPH Office of Development can help to leverage your resources. See firsthand what the UIC School of Public Health is all about with a campus visit.

• Supporting and accessing research of interest to them
• Expanding their consulting base of experts in numerous fields
• Setting an example in the community, thereby enhancing their public image
• Interacting with SPH's excellent students, who are leaders of the future

Opportunities for Gift Support

Faculty Excellence

By endowing or helping to endow a distinguished professorship or chair, a corporation signals its belief in education and intellectual values. Moreover, corporations can support key areas of interest and increase visibility for their priorities.

Educational Opportunity

By supporting SPH students through fellowships and scholarships, companies strengthen ties with the university and establish direct links with some of the best graduate students in the country.

Facilities

The demand for modern, well-designed facilities is always high, for such environments nurture creative ideas and innovative developments. By funding new and existing facilities, corporations are making a long-term investment in the school.

Matching Gift Programs

A company can increase the impact of its employees' gifts to SPH by matching their contributions. Most corporations provide a 1:1 match, while others choose higher ratios to further support their employees' charitable giving. Some companies even match gifts made by employees' spouses.
