Fuel the Future of Innovation
Support the Innovation Academy and empower UF students with the tools, experiences and resources they need to turn bold ideas into real-world impact. You can choose to support one of our three key funds:
IA Fund for Excellence
The IA Innovation Fund for Excellence is an opportunity to invest in a forward-looking undergraduate experience. Your support can fund student prototyping equipment, start-up seed funding and co-curricular experiences, keeping students on a “collision course” with disruptive ideas, problem-solving, business acumen, design thinking and innovation.
Prototyping Fund
The IA Prototyping Fund supports Innovation Academy’s Prototype Lab by providing essential resources that enable hands-on innovation, experimentation and product development. This fund helps maintain and upgrade the lab’s tools, equipment and infrastructure, while also covering the cost of materials and parts students need to bring their ideas to life.
DonateFounders Fund
The IA Founders Fund supports Innovation Academy’s Business Incubator by providing resources to student ventures. Through structured mentorship programs with experienced entrepreneurs and industry experts, seed funding for prototyping and business development as well as access to workshops, pitch events and strategic guidance, the fund empowers aspiring founders to turn innovative ideas into scalable businesses.
