This is our moment

Founded by visionaries within our own community, the University of Rochester was built on a belief that education can be a force for good—a place where big questions can lead to bold impact.

Today, we stand at another defining moment in our history. Once again we’re calling on our community to help us realize a better world—one fueled by curiosity, creativity, and shared humanity.

Our priorities

Our students, faculty and staff, and patients are counting on us to keep doing what Rochester does best: to continue asking the big questions, to pursue bold ideas, and to translate our findings into solutions that we share with the world. Your generosity helps us be forever better. Join us in a campaign for Rochester’s future.
