About Development
Our Mission
The Office of University Development maximizes private support for the University of Michigan.
Values
Open and Honest Relationships
Rewarding relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We continually review our work through the eyes of our partners—both internal and external—and go out of our way to anticipate and exceed their expectations. We work as a team with U-M faculty, staff, alumni, and donors to continually build a stronger university.

We enthusiastically support the university’s mission to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving, and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future.
