Giving
Thank You for Supporting the Occupational and Environmental Health Division
Your donation to the Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) Division at the University of Utah helps us advance the health and safety of workers, businesses, and the environment. As part of the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine, this internationally recognized Division receives only 5% of its funding from state support. An additional 30% comes from a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) grant, leaving over 60% of our funding needs to be met by generous donors, grants, and faculty contributions.
Your support enables us to maintain and grow our educational, research, and outreach programs, ensuring that our students are equipped to meet critical health and safety challenges in the workforce. Donations help fund scholarships, support faculty research, and advance our mission of improving public health through occupational and environmental safety.
Ways to Give
You can contribute to existing scholarships, create a new named scholarship, or donate to the general OEH fund, which directly supports our education and research activities. All donations are tax-deductible.
