Forge a brighter future.

A gift to the Ric Edelman College supports a wide range of cutting-edge curricula, scholarships and fellowships, faculty research and more – ensuring the remarkable success of our future leaders as they set out to pursue careers as changemakers in communities large and small.

Your support will strengthen the passion and purpose of Ric Edelman College students and enable their meaningful impact in government, business, non-profits, healthcare, education, and beyond.
