RESOURCES for donors + partners

Since 1952, Adler University has prepared breakaway thinkers to lead lasting change in individual and community health.

Support students, strengthen systems

Every gift expands access to education and training for students working to lead change in individuals, organizations, and communities.

Thanks to donors like you, Adler has graduated over 10,000 leaders, scholars, and practitioners. Your continued support empowers the next generation of breakaway thinkers to transform systems and strengthen communities.

Adler alumni step into the roles society needs most — culturally responsive, socially attuned, and committed to working in true partnership. They expand access to care in underserved areas, champion community mental health, and drive systemic change where it matters most.

Your generosity creates ripple effects far beyond campus, expanding access to care, addressing disparities through research and practice, and advancing community health and well-being.

Together, we can build a healthier, more connected world where communities thrive and care is within reach.
