The KU Philosophy Development Fund

the Department’s only unrestricted source of private support

By donating to this fund, you will be supporting essay contests, visiting lecturers, student and faculty travel to regional professional meetings, hospitality for visiting speakers, student prizes, teaching awards for Graduate Teaching Assistants, awards for outstanding student service, the Undergraduate Philosophy Club and the Graduate Association of Philosophy Students, and a host of other activities that are not fully funded (or not funded at all) by the State. This modest fund has been primarily supported by our philosophy alumni and is presently seriously depleted. We hope that our alumni will become Friends of KU Philosophy and make their tax deductible contributions to this fund annually. You can be assured that any contribution however modest would be warmly appreciated by our faculty, staff, and students.

Online giving is secure, simple, and quick. Donations are managed by KU Endowment, the non-profit fundraising organization that supports KU. For other available funds, please visit KU Endowment's Philosophy page. For information on other opportunities to assist the Department, please contact us.
