Fundraising Priorities

The Look to Michigan campaign, launched in October, 2024, is the nation’s most ambitious fundraising campaign of any public academic institution. The University of Michigan School of Social Work also has several very ambitious goals during the Look to Michigan campaign.

During the Look to Michigan campaign, the School of Social Work will partner with generous alumni and donors to:

• Provide transformative educational experiences for our students
• Establish a Hub for Community and Policy Impact to translate research into action and create meaningful community changes
• Pioneer solutions to urgent social issues through new approaches
• Create a better future for children, families, and older adults
• Transform mental health care and create hope for individuals and communities

Below, you can read our full Michigan Social Work Case Statement. Together, we can accomplish great things during this campaign and beyond.

If you have questions about the Look to Michigan campaign, please contact a member of the School of Social Work's Development and Alumni Relations Team at [email protected]. 

For a better, brighter future for individuals, families, and communities, look to Michigan Social Work.
