Top Philanthropic Donors: Joseph Neubauer and Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer

For Joseph Neubauer and Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer, the $26.5 million gift in support of the Neubauer Family Collegium for Culture and Society is the latest in a series of efforts to spark creative and collaborative approaches to the highest pursuit of knowledge.

That all starts with investing in people, says Joseph Neubauer, MBA’65 and a trustee of the University.

“The Collegium is an investment in human capital and an investment in what makes this University distinctive,” he says. “It’s really designed to create a natural platform for the University’s scholars to cross disciplinary boundaries to consider the complicated multidimensional problems of everyday life.”

The Collegium is one of the family’s many programs that support UChicago faculty and their groundbreaking research.

In 1994, the family established the Neubauer Family Chair in Entrepreneurship and Finance, the first at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

The Neubauer Family Foundation provided $10 million to support graduate students in the Division of the Humanities as well as in Chicago Booth in 2002.

The Neubauer Family Assistant Professor Fellows program, which was established in 2007, provides five years of research funding and guaranteed leave time for 20 outstanding early-career, tenure-track assistant professors.

The Neubauer Collegium brings Joseph Neubauer and Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer’s total support for the University to more than $65 million.
