How Are Gifts Used?
 
Since the program was founded in 1968, private support through SHARE has built
and restored laboratories, greenhouses and buildings; enabled worthy students to
pursue their education; helped to attract and retain top faculty; and provided for
much needed scientific and technical equipment. Gifts for UF /IFAS are generally
tax-deductible and range from simple gifts of cash to complex deferred giving plans.
Unrestricted gifts allow UF / IFAS to meet unexpected challenges and opportunities
and provide for important areas not funded by public sources. Donors may also
designate their gifts for:

 

• General program enhancement
