Supporting Students, Strengthening the University
Faculty and staff shape the University of Kentucky every day through teaching, research, care and service. Faculty and staff giving is one way employees come together to support students, strengthen the university and invest in the Commonwealth.
Gifts from UK employees help advance the university’s mission and demonstrate pride in the institution we serve together. Participation — at any level — shows that the people who power the University of Kentucky believe in its future.
Ways to Give
Faculty and staff can support the university in several ways.
Give Online
Support scholarships, colleges, programs, research or any area of the university that is meaningful to you.
A one-time or recurring gift can be made easily through the university’s online giving website.
Payroll Deduction
Payroll deduction allows faculty and staff to make a small gift from each paycheck. This option provides a simple and consistent way to support students and programs across the university.
Many employees choose payroll deduction because it allows them to make an impact over time.

Participation from faculty and staff helps demonstrate the collective pride and commitment of the UK community.
