Support IGS

Private support for the Institute of Governmental Studies is essential. Recent cutbacks in state support for the University means we must rely more on private donors for ensuring our students and faculty have access to first-rate resources and facilities. Only 12% of the IGS budget comes from University sources, so private support is vital to ensuring our excellence.

Contributions to the Friends of IGS meet the Institute’s most pressing priorities including support for:

Student fellowship programs that offer graduate and undergraduate students expanded opportunities to compete for awards that advance their careers in research and public service

Student internships in the public and non-profit sectors that promote civic leadership training opportunities for students seeking to get more involved in public service

Library services that provide researchers with the most cutting edge resources and expertise 

Public education and outreach on the most pressing topics facing our state and nation

Your gifts are essential to maintaining the Institute’s quality and to fulfill our mission of building the next generation of leaders. To learn more about becoming a Friend of IGS, contact:
