The University of Rochester Parents' Fund is a special gift-giving program for parents of undergraduate students. The deep interest and generous support of parents have made a significant difference in helping Rochester maintain its position as a leader in higher education. Such gifts allow the deans to respond to opportunities for strengthening and enriching undergraduate education whenever these opportunities arise and to meet unanticipated student needs immediately.
Parents give gifts of all sizes.
Gifts are votes of enthusiasm and appreciation for the education that Rochester offers, and each gift sets an example for and inspires other to give, ensuring the University's success in meeting the needs of its undergraduates. Participation from significant numbers of parents will also help attract grants from corporations and foundations. Gary Simpson, director of the annual fund and alumni relations, or Kelly Redder, director of alumni and parent relations, welcome your questions regarding gifts to Rochester.
