Ways to Give

Gifts to the University may be outright gifts that will benefit the University immediately or planned gifts that will support URI in the future.

Gifts can be given for a specific purpose (restricted) or for general use (unrestricted). And they can be outright and immediate or can be used to establish endowment funds, which generate earnings to support your designation over time, while retaining the principal value of your gift.

Whether you are making an annual gift supporting the University's operating needs or a major gift supporting an endowment or capital project, there are many ways to contribute to URI.

You can make a gift to the University of Rhode Island a number of ways including online or by mail.  We can also take your credit card payments over the phone, if you prefer, at 401.874.7900.  If your preference is mail, please make your checks out to the URI Foundation and send to URI Foundation, P.O. Box 1700, Kingston, RI  02881.
