Impact Stories
The University at Buffalo is recognized as a premier public research university. We support UB’s leadership, faculty, students and staff by providing the services and resources UB needs to achieve its goals. Here are just a few of the ways we continue to make a positive impact on the university.
Supporting a New Home for Learning
The UB Foundation played a vital role in administering gifts that support the GRoW home, and assisting with other important services necessary to help with the success UB’s School of Architecture and Planning had with this home.
Providing the ‘Gold Standard’ Nationwide
The FIM® instrument is widely regarded as the “gold standard” for measuring a patient’s functional status through the continuum of care.
Fueling the Freshman Experience

Promoting Global Conversations

Supporting UB’s Historic Move Downtown
Relocating UB’s new Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, which will help attract leading physicians, researchers and medical students, would not have been possible without our help.
Endowed chairs bring some of the world’s leading scholars to UB, and are made possible in large part by the gift stewardship services that we provide.
Strengthening UB’s Ability to Share World-Class Collections
A home for UB’s permanent art collections–and the lead facility for UB’s museum studies program–the Anderson Gallery is owned by the UB Foundation.
Providing critical support to the UB and Buffalo Niagara research communities, the UB Technology Incubator is a groundbreaking facility that we are proud to own and help manage.
Supporting Life-Saving Research
The Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences can attract and retain leading researchers, in part because of the gift stewardship services offered through the UB Foundation.
An internationally recognized composer thrives at UB, thanks in part to our key role in supporting an endowed chair.
