Unrestricted gifts provide a funding source for UMKC that is not limited to a specific program, college or department.
These gifts are used where most needed throughout the institution, including resources to recruit top faculty, create scholarship programs and internship opportunities, invest in technology and enhance the overall academic life of the campus.
Unrestricted gifts are of critical importance because they allow maximum flexibility for the university to provide funding to meet unexpected challenges, take advantage of unique opportunities and meet the many budget challenges of the current higher education environment.
