As we tackle the changing landscape of education, we are committed to supporting our students, who are the lifeblood of our university, and to remaining true to the tenets of Loyal Blue.
When you make a gift to UB’s student emergency funds, you have an immediate, tangible impact on students in need and help our community remain strong.
“There are so many students in need. Some do not have funds to
pay for food, rent, phone bills, utilities or car that they need to get to work.
These little issues pile up for us and severely affect our focus on our studies.
A small gesture means a lot to us.”
-Third year UB Law School student
If you are well and able to assist other members of the UB community, consider contributing to the student emergency fund of your choice. Your contribution can benefit the broad Student Emergency fund or be designated to a specific school.
“I was a victim of a crime. The assistance I received allowed me to fund moving to a new apartment away from the perpetrators.
It gave me peace but also protected my safety and well-being.
I would have potentially risked my life if I did not have the means to move apartments.”
-Current UB Student who wished to remain anonymous
Your gift will make an immediate impact on the circumstances of our students like Christian. Please join other UB donors and make a gift today on Giving Tuesday and also consider sharing this opportunity with your own personal network.
From your entire UB family, thank you for everything you are doing to support our students.
Did you know you might be able to increase your support of Student Emergency Funds through an employer match? Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match—doubling and sometimes tripling— charitable contributions made by their employees. Some companies also match gifts made by retirees.
