Alumni Giving

Why your gift matters
In addition to the financial importance to the college, alumni giving impacts Cornell's ranking. Cornell is a leader among its peers in offering extraordinary opportunities and the one-class-at-a-time academic experience. But in alumni giving rates, we have some catching up to do.

Every gift to the Annual Fund helps:

• Increase financial aid
• Support study abroad opportunities
• Create more internships
• Support interdisciplinary and academic enrichment programs
• Sustain a high level of academic rigor

Now it's your turn
Think about the opportunities you and your classmates had to study in other countries, the theatre class that changed your life, the competitive athletic programs, engaged professors that were accessible to you, opportunities to create and serve, the financial aid you were offered. Now think about the aspirations of 1,200 young men and women who call the Hilltop their home today. All of these opportunities were offered to you -- and are offered to them -- because of alumni giving. Check out your class's participation rate, and make your gift today.
