Supporting UB initiatives by assisting with expenditures

As a leading public research university, the University at Buffalo is committed to maintaining premier facilities, supporting groundbreaking research, and attracting top students, faculty and researchers. We support UB in these endeavors by assisting with various expenditures. As part of our service to UB, the UB Foundation also provides payroll administration for UB faculty and staff who are funded with UB Foundation resources. These transactions are guided by many policies, practices and controls; most of these are imposed by federal or state governing authorities, while some are imposed by donors and appropriate stewardship standards, some are developed by our board, and some are simply judged to be good practice by UB officials or other external sources.

Providing business services for related organizations

We also offer a wide range of financial services to organizations that are related to UB’s mission. These services play an integral role in our support of the university.
