Giving

Thank you to our donors who make a difference by improving animal and human health. Without gifts, the school would not have the resources to strategically invest in the people, research, and facilities that set the school and UW Veterinary Care apart from our peers.

With the support of compassionate people who want to advance animal health, we can:

Recruit and train the most outstanding faculty and students
Make advances in research that benefits animals and humans too
Provide diagnostic equipment that improves our treatment of disease and injury
Support scholarships that offset the debt load of our graduates
Honor animals and people who have made a difference
