Why your support matters

Slifka Center is a registered 501(c)3 organization that is affiliated with, but separate from Yale University. We do not receive any direct funding from Yale, nor do we receive any government funding. Two-thirds of our annual operating budget is supported by philanthropic dollars through a combination of direct annual giving and endowment funds.

Gifts to Slifka Center are fully tax deductible. Matching gifts are welcome! Our Tax ID (EIN) is 06-1257354.
