Giving Opportunities

A gift to the Maxwell School is an investment in what is at the very core of Maxwell - a commitment to the common good.  Opportunities to support our mission are as diverse as the alumni who have passed through Maxwell’s halls.  Please feel free to contact Gary Livent to discuss how a giving opportunity can be tailored to meet your personal and philanthropic goals. 

Maxwell’s funding priorities fall into six general categories: 

• Support for Critical Needs
  A contribution to our Annual Fund or Dean's Discretionary Fund allows us to make crucial, time-sensitive investments in the programs and people that are at the heart of our commitment to public scholarship, citizenship education and global engagement.

• Scholarships and Fellowships
  Recruiting top-notch young scholars and providing them with opportunities to interact with faculty and develop their skills as future policymakers, academics, or public servants is a top priority.

• Expansion of Citizenship and Democracy Core Courses
  Expanding Maxwell’s highly acclaimed undergraduate “signature” courses in citizenship will allow us to provide all Syracuse University students with the foundation and skills they need to become active and engaged civic leaders locally or in communities around the world. 

• Faculty Research and Development Funds
  Support for teaching, research and curricular development at the Maxwell School allows us to nurture the research and careers of our most productive scholars.

• Endowed Professorships and Named Chairs
  These visible and highly-coveted positions allow us to attract and retain the top-quality scholars, outstanding teachers, nationally-recognized researchers, and experienced practitioners that comprise the Maxwell School faculty.

• Program Support
  Support can be directed to specific programs or divisions within the Maxwell School, providing support to the programs and centers that made an impact on your life.
