The Future Fund

Commemorating our first 50 years by preparing for our 100th

To commemorate 50 years of impact and to prepare future leaders in government, the environment, industry, criminal justice, and the arts, the O’Neill School's Alumni Board introduced the O'Neill Future Fund in 2018.

This one-time fundraising initiative had a goal of raising a minimum of $50,000 to celebrate the O’Neill School's 50th anniversary during the 2022-2023 academic year. All funds in the O'Neill Future Fund will be invested, growing interest until our 100th anniversary in 2072, positioning it to grow to almost $1 million. From 2072 to 2075, the O’Neill School's administration will completely spend the fund on the school's most pressing needs.

Support the O’Neill School’s Future Fund

As of October 22, 2022, we have reached our fundraising goal! However, we are still accepting donations to the O’Neill Future Fund, which will only help grow the available amount for our 100^th anniversary.

All donors to the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs Future Fund will receive an O’Neill School seed packet (verified by O’Neill faculty as non-invasive). And of course, all the warm fuzzy feelings you get from supporting the next generation of O’Neill School leaders.
