How to Give
The Department of Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology at the University of Louisville depends on the generous support and contributions of alumni and other members of our community. We have several different ways to donate, including investments in leading-edge research, honorariums and memorial gifts, naming opportunities, special events and much more. We are always accepting donations to our Willed Body Program.
Make checks payable to the University of Louisville Foundation. In the memo, include the gift allocation (e.g. A specific school/college, scholarship etc).
Spotlights
The Acland fund was established by Robert Acland, founder and former director of the Acland Fresh Tissue Lab. The funds were established by proceeds from his video series “Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy, published by Wolters Kluwer. The intent of this award is to provide stipends and academic support for PhD students being trained in the anatomical sciences with the hope that they pursue an academic career in teaching and research. To date, the fund resides in a discretionary account in the Department of Anatomical Sciences. The plan is to move a portion of these funds to an endowment where they can be invested for long-term use.
These funds were donated to the Department of Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology by the Longley family following the death of Dr. and Mrs. James B. Longley. Dr. Longley was department chair from 1962 to 1989. The funds will be used to host a Thursday Seminar Series in his honor. This seminar series invites researchers, educators and private sector Anatomists to speak with and educate our students, faculty and staff on their specialty.
Some donors realize the cost the university incurs with the Willed Body Program and Fresh Tissue Lab. Therefore when they place their obituary in the newspaper they leave a request that expressions of sympathy be made in c/o of the University of Louisville, Body Bequeathal Program. These funds help educate UofL medical and dental students.
