Where to Give

Your generous donation will directly support the D’Youville University College of Osteopathic Medicine, advancing exceptional medical education. Together, we can drive innovations that improve health outcomes and transform lives.

The School of Arts, Sciences & Education (SASE) contains the departments and programs that build the foundation of knowledge for students to develop into critical thinkers, responsible citizens, dynamic leaders, and compassionate human beings. The School applies the fundamentals of knowledge, creativity, inspiration, and connection.

The School of Health Professions, driven by academic excellence, prepares leaders who are focused on service, equity and the health and well- being of a diverse society.

The Patricia H. Garman School of Nursing’s mission is to educate nurses who are prepared to embrace the ever-changing healthcare environment through their commitment to lifelong learning, patient-directed care, principles of social justice, and dedication to caring for and serving the global community.

Graduates will be leaders across all healthcare settings: responsible, compassionate, ethical, and accountable members of the nursing profession, committed to the pursuit of excellence in practice, communication, innovation, research, lifelong service and learning.  

 A D’Youville nurse will demonstrate excellence in interprofessional collaboration and advocate for a diverse patient population in all healthcare settings.

The School of Pharmacy at D’Youville offers real-world, value-added education for future Pharmacy professionals so they can maximize their career prospects and versatility in the marketplace. From special certifications to concentrations to combined degrees, our graduates are solid earners serving at the top of their field. But that’s not all! Through international and service experiences, strong support in small classes, and a curriculum centered on diversity and inclusion — D’Youville pharmacy alumni are transforming communities through a human-centered approach to care.

In addition to academic programming, the CDSR provides support to faculty and students pursuing research and scholarship, particularly related to projects that engage and impact our community. Initiatives and events within the CDSR aim to build connections between faculty, between faculty and students, and between the University and community on research, scholarship, and service-learning projects. ​

The CDSR celebrates faculty and student research and scholarship through annual events and competitions showcasing D’Youville affiliated work. With increased synergy, collaboration, and recognition, the CDSR aims to foster and grow scholarship produced by our students and faculty.

The Kavinoky Theatre has earned a reputation for consistently high-quality productions, and has received countless awards. Over the years, The Kavinoky Theatre has had a seminal influence on the growth of live theatre in Buffalo. Most of the leading area actors had their start at The Kavinoky, as did many of the Artistic Directors. When we began we were alone; there are now over thirty producing organizations in town and we are proud to have paved the way for Buffalo's thriving theatre community.

Donating to the Kavinoky Gift Fund, supports the historic Kavinoky Theatre. The "Take a Seat" allows you to become a permanent part of the Kavinoky Theatre! By naming a brand new seat at the Kavinoky Theatre, you can honor someone special, remember a loved one, or promote your business in a unique and lasting way. Your tax deductible contribution will allow the theatre to continue to promote the arts in Buffalo through its diverse collection of plays and musicals. Your donation will produce an engraved plate with your honoree's name on it, which will be placed on the arm of the seat for future generations to see.

The Student Experience is designed around the most important thing here — our students. Ours is a community that lives and learns outside of the classroom, around the city, and even across the globe. Students find unique experiences to meet people, build community, and experience events designed to take learning further. And our most popular events, clubs, or groups? They're the ones our students bring to the campus and build with our student support teams.
