The pace of change in Idaho continues to accelerate. That’s why, as Idaho’s first and only Carnegie R1 research university, we’re devoted to enhancing the scientific, economic, social, legal and cultural assets of our region and developing new solutions to complex problems.
Our mission is to shape the future of our state. To do that, we need you. Your support with a gift in your will, trust or in some other way will sustain U of I and further our mission for generations to come. You can be a powerful force for U of I, driving us to amplify:
Ignite Student Success
Together, we are transforming education by leveraging advanced technologies, data-driven insights and personalized approaches to enhance the learning experience.
“Suddenly, physiology and diseases aren’t just something you memorize. They’re something you see, feel and remember.”
– Tyler Bland, Clinical Professor in the Idaho WWAMI Medical Education Program
Drive Experiential Learning
Whether through donor-funded internships, undergraduate research, study abroad programs or community engagement, experiential learning prepares our students to think critically, solve problems and thrive in disparate professional environments.
“We were the only school that got the opportunity to look at the Denver Broncos stadium, because our professor asked. We got a very personal one-on-one experience.”
– Lizzy Childers, ’26 Sports Management
Harness Research Innovation
Philanthropic support was instrumental in U of I becoming Idaho’s first and only Carnegie R1 research university. Through your investments, U of I is providing solutions to complex challenges and fostering economic growth.
“This is going to help a large Idaho company. They had a problem and we had the right technology and knowledge to create a solution.”
