Annual Campaign

The School of Government relies upon legislative funding for about 60 percent of its annual budget. Strong support from local governments, receipts from services and publications sales, and private gifts provide the remaining funds necessary to operate the School.

The School faces a growing demand for its teaching, advising, research, and publishing services, while at the same it continues to address permanent and temporary state appropriation reductions totaling more than $5 million over the past 12 years.

How will your gift be used?
Your contribution to the Friends Annual Campaign will help the School of Government to meet a variety of financial needs to help serve you better:
