Although Soran University is generously funded by the Kurdistan Regional Government, like all universities across the world it welcomes donations, large and small, from alumni, individual members of the local community, businesses and institutions as part of their charitable giving. Donations could range from individual books or teaching equipment, support for specialised research projects, particularly where related to local circumstances, to the endowment of buildings. All donations will be acknowledged by the University, both directly, in the form, for example of bookplates and in its publicity material. As a new university the pool of alumni is at present small but it hoped that in the future successful graduates will share their good fortune with their alma mater.
