Giving and Major Gifts

Our mission to foster excellence, innovation and scholarship in education, research and patient care is made possible in part through donations from our many alumni, friends and partners. Explore giving options through the UMKC Foundation or speak with Matt Astleford, senior managing director of development for the School of Medicine, about major gifts. All gifts help us continue our mission and positively impact the community.
