Supporting the Urban Land Institute through annual giving is one of the most powerful ways you can make an impact. Unrestricted contributions to the ULI Annual Fund ensure that ULI has the resources to acknowledge opportunities and address unforeseen challenges with expediency that would otherwise not be possible. Your donation enables ULI to provide cutting-edge research, content, and programming that advances innovation in the industry and provides opportunities for our members to further connect, inspire, and lead.
Donors can choose to designate their contribution to a specific ULI signature program, ensuring that their gift is personally meaningful, or make an unrestricted donation with the assurance that it will be applied to meet ULI’s greatest needs.
