Ways to Give Each gift plays a vital role in advancing the University and counts toward Big Ideas. Bold Plans. The Campaign for URI. You can choose to support scholarships and fellowships, attract top scholars and educators, encourage vital research, and enhance facilities. Development officers are available to discuss aligning your philanthropic goals with University initiatives. You may choose to make an outright gift of cash, securities, or other property to support specific areas of interest. A pledge enables you to make a gift over a period of time (generally up to five years). Endowed gifts can be named for yourself, your family, a friend, or a mentor and will provide perpetual funding to the area of your choice.

Gifts through your will are an investment in future generations of URI students.
