Give To The School Of Public Affairs

The abundance and expansion of nonprofit and government entities is making Southern Colorado a hub for careers in the public sector. As the need for qualified workers to fill these roles has risen, a public university in Southern Colorado specializing in these fields has become even more crucial. That’s where the UCCS School of Public Affairs comes in.

A substantial portion of the Colorado Springs Police Department command staff received their master’s degree from the School of Public Affairs, and an increasing number of local nonprofit executives have come to UCCS to get their Master of Public Administration. Your contribution to the School of Public Affairs sends a message of support for Southern Colorado’s public sector.

 

How To Support The School Of Public Affairs:

A Word from the Dean

Dr. George E. Reed
School of Public Affairs Dean
"The School of Public Affairs prepares tomorrow’s leaders in the public sector. Our graduates seek to transform lives for the better as criminal justice professionals, public administrators, non-profit directors and as social workers. Your generosity makes a difference in the lives of our students today and for generations. One student recently told me that receiving a scholarship was like “getting a warm hug from our community.”

Explore planned giving options

Designate your gift to the area that matters most to you by leaving a lasting legacy at the School of Public Affairs. Making a gift in your will or living trust allows donors to make larger gifts than they otherwise might be able to give from their income alone. Learn more about the many benefits of planned giving, such as life-long income and tax benefits that can better provide for your heirs by minimizing impact on your estate. For more information visit the UCCS Planned Giving website, or contact development@uccs.edu or (719) 255-5100.

Explore honorary and memorial options

Gifts made in memory or in honor of a family member, teacher, student, or friend are generous and thoughtful ways to remember a person’s life and accomplishments. You can specify this when giving online or you can mention it to a member of our Advancement team when arranging to make a gift with their assistance.

Learn about payroll and matched gifts

Many employers allow tax-deductible giving through payroll deductions. Additionally, if you or your spouse are employed by a company that provides a matching gift program, your contribution to the School of Public Affairs could be significantly supported. Check with your employer to see if you qualify.
