Levels of Giving and Gift Opportunities

Your donation supports economic policy research and allows our faculty the opportunity to train, educate, and support graduate students as future economic policy analysts. We encourage unrestricted gifts to the SIEPR general fund, which provides both long-term stability and the flexibility to fund important emerging and ongoing projects.

Our donors will be invited to various outreach events and receive e-newsletters, policy briefs and other SIEPR publications while being recognized and stewarded at their level of giving.
