Endowment

The Endowment Fund of the Ural Federal University was established in March 2012. The Fund is a non-profit organization established by natural persons on the basis of voluntary contributions.

The principles of the work of the Endowment Fund are quite simple: sponsors contribute to provide financial support for the fulfillment of the university's mission of teaching, learning, and research. Some sponsors specify funds for particular purposes and have the right to control how those funds are spent. The endowment is overseen by a special board of trustees that decides how to invest the principal to provide a stable income for the university. The endowment's investment income is used to fund various development programs at the university, while the principle remains intact.

The total sum of donations for the formation and replenishment of the specific funds of the UrFU Endowment Fund (April 2023) is 182 397 586 rubles, including:

Endowment is a very important way to support the university community and is used in many international and Russian universities.

University endowment is not only a financial help to your alma mater, it is also an investment in the training of specialists for the future of your company. If you invest your money in the University's Endowment Fund today, you will get highly qualified specialists for your laboratories, companies and enterprises tomorrow.

Nowadays the University is becoming the center of development of the entire Ural region. Therefore, sponsors who contribute to the development of the University also invest in the development of a huge region with millions of inhabitants and improve their own status.

The relations within the Foundation are clear and mutually beneficial for all parties involved in the process. Participating in the Endowment Project means becoming a member of a large and close-knit academic family, even many years after your graduation.

Victor Koksharov, Rector of the Ural Federal University

Endowment is a very important tool for supporting the university community, which has been used for a long time in many international and some Russian universities.

We started to create the fund at the end of 2011. It is very important for us that alumni of the Ural State University and the Ural Polytechnic Institute, as well as long-term partners of the university, have made their donations. In this way they help us to solve not only strategic problems, but also to invest in the development of talented young people and infrastructure. These are essential factors that allow the Ural Federal University to remain one of the leading universities in Russia and the world. The peculiarity of the endowment is that only the income from the fund is spent. We have set a goal to reach a high level: only the sum of more than 30 million rubles will allow to accumulate the necessary funds for the development of the university. We will be grateful for any contribution!
