The University relies on the Foundation to invest and grow funds that
support ongoing programs and initiatives that improve and enhance the
University experience for our students.”

Contributions
to the University of Louisville Foundation provide support to almost every
aspect of the University. Gifts endow scholarships, chairs and professorships.
They support various libraries like the Ekstrom and the Kornhauser and
the J B Speed Art Museum acquisitions. They help underwrite athletic programs,
research, student activities and international exchange experiences. And
they help many other special projects such as the Bucks for Brains program
and the James Graham Brown Cancer Center. Through the support it provides
to all of these areas, the Foundation is quite clearly a conduit for the
changing academic landscape of the University.
“With
the help of the University of Louisville Foundation, many of the projects
mentioned in the Challenge for Excellence, a 10-year blueprint for the
future initiated in 1998, are already off to a fine start in terms of
attracting funding. We are confident that with the added impetus and focus
generated by the Foundation, we will achieve our target.”
