Giving Opportunities
BGU is a dynamic, pioneering university with a diverse student body and faculty. Your donation is an emphatic statement of commitment to innovative research and the development of a strong and thriving Negev. The following giving opportunities are available online.
General Support: Your unrestricted contribution allows us to deliver funds where they are needed most. Whether it is to support the recruitment of outstanding faculty and researchers, provide scholarships, underwrite research, offset the expenses of new buildings, labs, equipment, and classrooms, or pay the University's electric bill, you have our guarantee that your investment in BGU will be used wisely, effectively and efficiently.
The Student Scholarship Fund: Donations earmarked for scholarships help make higher education accessible to more young people who might otherwise be unable to pursue a university education. BGU has been unable to meet the increased demand for greater scholarship assistance. Your investment in this fund will support tuition assistance, housing and living expenses, and will subsidize the high cost of text books.
Contributions in any amount are deeply appreciated. However, contributors of $2,500 and above are matched with individual student scholarship recipients and receive letters from both the student and the dean of students.
The Green Fund: The advancement of drylands (desertification) is one of the largest environmental threats facing the world today. Each year, the earth loses an area roughly the size of Kansas to encroaching desert. Israel is the only country in the world in which the desert is receding, thanks in large part to the innovative research spearheaded by BGU.
BGU is a world leader in sustainable development of drylands. From water purification and management to the development of biodiesel fuels and alternative energy sources, from growing unique desert-friendly plants and crops, to the development of medicines and therapies that use natural substances, BGU is committed to making the desert bloom responsibly and sharing that knowledge with the world. Contributions to this fund will support the University's efforts to push the boundaries of its environmental research.
More Giving Opportunities: BGU is an academic powerhouse in the desert with five faculties (colleges), world-renowned medical schools, hundreds of departments, research institutes and centers. Numerous designated giving opportunities exist for supporters seeking significant partnerships.
