Ways to Give to the Cornell Annual Fund
"If you want your money to have the biggest impact in the institution, leave it unrestricted! We will use it for our most pressing needs, opportunities, and developments."
There is often an impression that gifts not designated to a specific program area don't make a difference. The fact is that you have the ability to direct your Annual Fund gift to any of the fourteen colleges and units-or directly to the University to be put to use by the provost-named on the Cornell Annual Fund pledge card. Thank you for considering a gift to the Cornell Annual Fund! You join an impressive group of alumni, parents, and friends, beginning with Ezra Cornell and continuing to today's senior class. How to Make a GiftGifts may be made in a variety of forms, including cash, securities, and real estate, or through planned gifts, such as bequests, life income agreements or the Cornell University Foundation. Gifts to Cornell are tax-deductible to the full extent of the Internal Revenue Code. Cash Gifts Online: By Check: By Credit Card: Gift of securities or other appreciated assets: You can electronically fill out and print or manually fill out and print the graduate, general, or young alumni (class years '00-'09) pledge card and mail it to Cornell Annual Fund, P.O.
