Ways To Give

To execute a domestic or international wire transfer, please contact the Green School Office of Advancement directly. We will provide you with the appropriate wire transfer information/form.

Your annual giving is a powerful force driving the Green School forward. It fuels our students' creativity, drives discovery, and empowers innovative solutions to the challenges facing Miami and the world. Each gift you make plays a vital role in shaping the future of global leaders, advancing policy-relevant research, and supporting the heart of our School.

From scholarships and internships to faculty support and groundbreaking research, your contributions have an immediate and lasting impact. By giving annually, you help ensure that the Green School continues to thrive as a leader in international and public affairs, making a difference in the lives of our students, faculty, staff, and community.

You have the opportunity to direct your gift to a fund that resonates with your personal values and passions. Whether you choose an existing fund or endowment, your designated gift can make a meaningful difference where it matters most to you.

To explore the various funds and find the perfect match for the impact you want to create, please reach out to the Green School Advancement Team. We’re here to help you align your giving with the areas that inspire you most.

Recommending a gift to the Green School through your donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple and effective way to make a lasting impact while enhancing your philanthropic strategy. By using your DAF, you can support the School's mission, contribute to the areas that matter most to you, and receive immediate tax benefits.

The permanent naming of a Department, Center or Institute can be made.

An endowed Eminent Scholars Chair is one of the most prestigious honors at the university. Only the most outstanding scholars, nationally and internationally recognized as leaders in their academic discipline are considered for the Eminent Scholars Chair.

These renowned scholars help to attract other prominent faculty members to our programs leading to innovative research, public service and academic programs.

A gift of $3 million will endow an Eminent Scholars Chair.

Distinguished Chairs

Distinguished Chairs are exceptional scholars who bring critical acclaim to the College. These outstanding professors are mentors for younger faculty to inspire innovative research and academic excellence.

Help us recruit outstanding scholars around the world while building our faculty expertise in any particular field!

Distinguished Professorships

An endowed Distinguished Professorship attracts faculty with notable achievements in research and teaching. A Distinguished Professorship enables the College to also recognize and reward outstanding senior faculty at the top of their careers and in great demand at other institutions.

Named Visiting Professorships

By endowing a professorship, you can name a faculty position in honor of a family member, colleague, mentor or friend. Named or Endowed Visiting Professorships ensure that scholarly and research excellence will thrive in the teachers and students of the future.

Graduate Fellowships help students reach the next level of excellence while attracting top graduate and postdoctoral talent.

Endowments starting at: $250,000

Our students are able to thrive thanks to supporters like you! Endowed scholarships and support funds create opportunities for students who may not otherwise afford an FIU education. These funds may also honor a family member, mentor or organization.
