Support from Jayhawk parents is one reason KU is a world-class institution. As the only Kansas member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, KU is among a select group of public and private institutions known for excellence in education and research.
KU is a state university, but it receives only about 23 percent of its funding from the state of Kansas. That means private donations are more important now than ever.
In the past five years, nearly 13,000 Jayhawk parents have recognized that fact and have given or pledged financial support for the university. Giving to KU helps the university maintain its standing, improve facilities and faculty, and continue to provide the education your children need to thrive in the 21st century.
