Chemistry Department Giving Opportunities

The friends of the Department of Chemistry have been strong supporters of our programs. Donations can fund awards, scholarships, professorships, or a variety of educational and research programs. Many of our alumni received Chemistry Department scholarships while they were students, and have later helped us provide aid and recognition to current students.

The College of Science is also starting a major fund raising effort to support the proposed new science and mathematics instructional building at the University of Nevada, Reno. We hope this new facility will provide safe, state-of-the-art chemistry laboratories for undergraduate students, and open up space for us to expand the research programs in the Chemistry Building.

There are a variety of ways to give. Checks may be made payable to the “University of Nevada, Reno Foundation” with an indication in the memo line or a note that the gift is for the Chemistry Department, or one of the specific programs or funds listed below. Checks may be sent in care of the Chemistry Department, University of Nevada, Reno, 1664 N. Virginia St., Reno, NV 89557-0216.
