Graham Center Endowment Fund
Your contribution to this fund supports civic research, transformative academic programs and special events over a sustained period of time, all aimed at nurturing the next generation of leaders in public service. Just as Governor Bob Graham’s legacy continues to inspire and guide us, your donation will act as a long-term investment, with the returns supporting various initiatives that enable UF students to pursue careers dedicated to making a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond. As such, this fund is ideal for larger contributions, planned or deferred gifts, or other gifts that require some planning, are tax advantaged and may be deferred.
Bob Graham Center Internship Program
Bob Graham Center internships at local, state, national and international levels cultivate leadership and professional development by immersing aspiring public service professionals in experiences that bridge academic learning with real-world challenges. As UF students ‘learn by doing’ in the public service domain, an ethic exemplified by Bob Graham during his memorable “Work Days,” they build vital career networks and clarify career goals. Your contribution to this fund, even in smaller dollar amounts, can be used right away to address current internship needs and opportunities. As such, it’s the perfect way to directly support students in their pursuit of hands-on learning experiences that shape their future careers.
Graham Center Fund for Excellence
The Fund for Excellence plays an important role in amplifying the visibility of the Bob Graham Center across the UF campus, throughout Florida, and beyond by supporting programming initiatives and center-wide operations. Your contributions to this fund, in any dollar amount, can make an immediate and significant impact in meeting the Center’s pressing promotional priorities. As awareness of the Graham Center’s impact continues to expand, a growing number of students can take advantage of opportunities at all educational levels, fostering broader engagement and participation.
Contributions by check can be made to any of these initiatives at any time. Simply send your check made payable to “UF Foundation” to UF CLAS Development PO Box 117300 Gainesville, FL 32611, with “Bob Graham Center” referenced in the memo line.
If you are interested in supporting the program through appreciated stocks and bonds, real estate, or through various planned giving opportunities, please email Matt Jacobs, Bob Graham Center Director, or call (352) 273-1080.
