Donation Requests
Thank you for thinking of us as you make plans for your special event, activity, or program. The VandalStore receives many requests for donations from individuals and groups both on and off campus.
As a self-supporting campus department, our profits remain at the UI to support programs, scholarships, and facilities that benefit University of Idaho students, faculty, and staff. In addition to redirecting our profits to the University, we provide donations to special events, activities and programs that are in line with the University’s mission and vision.
