Why Give to the Cornell Annual Fund?As Cornell's annual fundraising program, the Cornell Annual Fund has the mission to reach out to as many alumni as possible and to raise unrestricted support for the University and its colleges and academic units. Cornell Annual Fund gifts are vital to the health and continued growth of the entire university. The breadth of Cornell's contributions to society is truly astounding. Every day, world-class faculty, exceptional students, and distinguished alumni around the world are advancing our world in the areas of research, the humanities and the arts. And from its inception, Cornell has welcomed qualified students of all backgrounds with a desire to learn and contribute to society. However, state and endowment funding covers only part of what the University needs each year to continue offering the outstanding programs, student aid, and faculty development that is Cornell's hallmark. The gap between a dean or director's budget line and the college or unit's actual need-that margin of excellence-is covered each year by Annual Fund gifts. What many people don't realize is that when you make a gift to any of the colleges or units listed below, your gift is considered a gift to the Annual Fund.
