Buffs Together

Buffs Together

CU Boulder is more than a place. It is all of you, wherever you are — a worldwide community of Buffs. And when that community is in need, we all come together to lend a hand.

The Buffs Together campaign is doing just that. The university is matching up to $1.6 million of gifts to support students, staff and faculty affected by the pandemic. You're invited to join us in connecting with and supporting the CU Boulder community. Even when there’s space between us, we stand shoulder to shoulder, just like we always have. 

We’re facing the global coronavirus pandemic as a community:
We are all Buffs Together.

 

 

1,835 students received a total of $904,143 in support

380 staff and faculty received a total of $164,753 in support

 

 

*All data updated through June 14, 2020

 

 

 The university is not the campus, not the buildings on the campus, not the faculty, not the students of any one time—not one of these or all of them. The university consists of all who come into and go forth from her halls, who are touched by her influence and who carry on her spirit.

Wherever you go, the university goes with you.
