Giving to Michigan Law 

Private support from alumni and friends is essential to keeping Michigan Law among the world’s top educators. What’s your philanthropic passion? A member of our staff would be happy to help you find the best fit for your interest.

For your consideration, here are our current fundraising priorities:

• Construction on our beautiful new building project continues through 2011. We’re getting closer to our $70 million goal in private support, but we’re not there yet. Help us get over the top!
• A gift to the Law School Fund, our biggest source of undesignated support, stretches through the entire Law Quad, positively affecting every student and faculty member.
• We welcome student support for a variety of purposes: scholarships, public service summer internships, and international experiences are at the top of our list. Your gift in this area helps Michigan Law to stay competitive by recruiting the most promising students.
• The Debt Management Program, a post-graduate loan forgiveness program, helps Michigan Law students pay their educational debts while following the law jobs of their dreams, often in public service, public interest, or other modestly-paying jobs.
• Programmatic support includes gifts for our Clinical Law Program, Environmental Law and Policy Program, and various human rights law-oriented programs, among other initiatives that distinguish Michigan Law.
• Faculty and research support are critical resources for helping Michigan Law recruit and retain first-rate faculty.
