Objectives

Created in 2008, the Red and Black Society recognizes graduates of the last decade who wish to support and remain connected to the University of Cincinnati.  The Society’s mission is to provide young alumni with the opportunity to meet and network with fellow alumni while helping the University of Cincinnati build a strong, positive future for the next generation of students.

This is accomplished by:

• Establishing regular annual support for UC’s expanding programs
• Creating appropriate recognition for donors’ exceptional generosity
• Providing opportunities for increased donor involvement with the University
• Enhancing donors’ awareness of the role higher education plays in contemporary society

Red and Black donors know that their support is a vote of confidence in their educational experience and the key to a bright future for the University of Cincinnati.  The Society is dedicated to UC’s goal of providing exceptional educational opportunities to the men and women who work toward their futures at the University of Cincinnati.

The Foundation was established in 1975 as a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit corporation and has the Internal Revenue Service identification number 31-0896555.

Your gifts to the University of Cincinnati are tax deductable to the full extent provided by law.
