Giving Opportunities
Gifts to the Brandeis National Committee support:
University Libraries
Libraries are the heart of a great university, the lifeline of teaching, learning and research. The remarkable growth of the Brandeis Libraries has been achieved with the help of generous women and men who recognize the link between a world-class library and a high-quality education. Through a wide range of giving opportunities, you can fulfill your interest in books and learning and make an impact on one of America’s leading research universities. Find out more about opportunities to support Brandeis Libraries.
Book Fund
Donations of $5 or more help to purchase thousands of books and journals each year. These gifts offer a meaningful way to honor or memorialize someone and celebrate important occasions. The recipient is informed of the gift with either a personalized tribute card or a leatherette folio with a facsimile of the bookplate.
