Is UB in your will?

On UB Giving Day, it’s our goal to identify supporters who have included a gift to UB in their will, but have not yet let us know. If this applies to you, contact Wendy Irving, Associate Vice President for Planned Giving at (877) 825-3422 or dev-pg@buffalo.edu. Together we can learn about your giving intent, and help you to create a lasting legacy at UB.
