Giving
Every contribution helps. Please donate today.
Individual and Corporate Giving
We are happy to accept donations in any amount, from individuals or corporations, but the following categories allow you to choose the level you are comfortable with.
The number of people over 65 is expected to almost double in 20 years. Learning new things is the best way for older adults to maintain healthy mental function. But that’s not why more than 3,000 seniors took Osher Lifelong Learning courses at KU this year. They did it for the joy of learning.
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at KU is one of the amenities that add to the quality of life in your community. Your gift helps ensure that quality of life.
Your tax-deductible gift will make a real difference. Please choose the level at which you are able to contribute.

Business Friends
Partnering with the KU Osher Institute would enable your business to show your support for KU and its lifelong learning efforts. It would also raise awareness of your goods and services among our members.
Become an Osher Business Friend
As an Osher Business Friend, your business would be listed in each of our regional catalogs, which we mail each semester to 34,000 past participants, alumni association members, instructors, officials, and supporters, most of whom are over the age of 60.
What’s in it for you?
You should become an Osher Business Friend if you want to…
- Partner with KU to offer high-quality lifelong learning opportunities in our community;
- Raise awareness of your business’ goods and services among our members;
- Help expand lifelong learning opportunities to communities that do not now have those resources; and
- Be listed among Osher Business Friends in the 34,000 catalogs mailed each semester and on the Osher website.
If your business serves retirees and other folks over 50, becoming an Osher BusinessFriend may be among the best business decisions you can make. And it’s easy!
