We are constantly reevaluating and determining what areas of our Institute need the most funding at any time. By making an unrestricted contribution to the Director’s Excellence Fund, you allow the Institute to direct the funding toward these areas of greatest need and ensure we remain at the forefront of regenerative medicine.
Gifts to this fund will support educational programs and academic resources such as books, equipment, travel, or other needs for students based upon academic achievement and financial need.

Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees. Find out how you can double or even triple the size of your gift to Pitt by participating in a workplace matching gift program.
Endowed funds are named funds that provide a perpetual stream of income for a specific purpose or for students within a particular area. Whether these gifts are for scholarships, fellowships, faculty chairs, or other important programs or services, they allow major gift donors to provide permanent support to the Institute. Minimum endowment levels guarantee that sufficient income will be available to fulfill the donor’s specific intentions.
Unlike endowed funds, current funds can be distributed in the same year they are received. They are a terrific alternative for those who might have excess funds available each year and ideal for annual IRA disbursements or lump-sum gifts.
Planned Giving options allow you to amplify the impact of your generosity to the University of Pittsburgh, potentially create lifetime income streams and reduce your taxes. You can leave a legacy through bequests, retirement plans and life insurance.
