Supporting Tomorrow’s Civic Leaders

Behind the success of centers like the Kinder Institute is the generosity of individuals who provide integral support for undergraduate students participating in some of the Kinder Institute’s signature experiential programs, including the first-year Kinder Institute Democracy Lab FIG, our DC-based academic programs, and our study abroad trips to Oxford and South Africa.

Anyone interested in contributing to the student experience at the Kinder Institute can do so via gifts to one of the following three funds.
