Invest in research

Support research that improves human health, development and welfare.

Support the KU Life Span Institute during One Day One KU.

Our work likely touches some part of your life, whether you have a family member with an intellectual disability, a friend struggling with addiction, or you believe that every child deserves a safe and healthy childhood. 

During KU's 24-hour giving campaign, join us in support of work that addresses complex challenges in disability, equity, child development, mental health, education, community health, and more. Your gift can leverage the collective energy and ideas of 350 staff and scientists pursuing solutions to challenges that affect all of us.

Give Feb. 20-21 during One Day One KU to support our life-changing research.
