The Institute continues to seek support for activities that benefit audiences within and beyond the University. We list here some opportunities that offer donors the chance to honor someone important to them by underwriting and naming an event, or activity, or program, or fellowship that the Institute sponsors. Each of these activities can be made permanent within the University by establishing an endowment, the income from which will support that event or program. Planned gifts can contribute to these programs as well. In all cases, gifts will receive full credit in the campaign for “The Michigan Difference.” Donors will also receive recognition in University of Michigan honor rolls.
