Giving

When you give to Pitt’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, your gift touches many lives.

Gifts aid students who dream of making a difference. It fuels the research of dedicated faculty and supports our innovative curriculum and state-of-the-art laboratories.

Most importantly, it impacts clinical practice and improved patient care.

Why Give?

Since its establishment in 1969, SHRS has been recognized as a national and international leader in the field of rehabilitation and disabilities studies. That tradition continues today as faculty, alumni and students blaze new trails in health care education, delivery and service. 

Your gift will allow our programs, faculty and students to continue to lead the way through innovative curriculum, research and clinical practice.

May I direct my gift?

Yes, by choosing to direct your gift to a specific department, program, initiative or fund, you are advancing our mission while supporting the causes that mean the most to you. You may direct your gift to:

  • Scholarships and awards
  • Professorships
  • Student resource funds
  • Academic departments
  • Programs and centers
  • And much more!

Pitt Day of Giving

Every February, the University of Pittsburgh holds its annual Day of Giving. This special day rallies members of the community—University alumni, friends, faculty, staff and students—to give to the schools, departments, projects or initiatives that are most meaningful to them. 

Together, we have the power to transform the lives of our students through scholarship donations, to impact patient care through research funding and to advance the mission and values of our school through general support.
