Make a Lasting Difference

Far Above... The Campaign for Cornell will empower the university to lead and be a model for higher education in the 21st century. With your help, Cornell can:

• Enroll and educate the most deserving students
• Recruit, support, and inspire the next generation of faculty
• Provide state-of-the-art facilities on a beautiful and environmentally friendly campus

Beginning with Ezra Cornell's gift of prime real estate-his farm far above Cayuga's waters-Cornell University has achieved a worldwide reputation, a place in the Ivy League, and distinction as a truly egalitarian institution. Its preeminence developed over the years with the help of thousands of dedicated alumni and friends.

From gifts of land to gifts of books and manuscripts, artwork, equipment, supplies, business interests, and cash, the generosity of farsighted individuals has always been a key to Cornell's success. But today's benefactors can also choose to employ one or more of a variety of giving techniques that offer a number of advantages. In fact, committing upfront cash is not the only way to make a charitable gift.

Gift planning is simply the act of thoughtfully selecting ways to give that help you meet your goals-and Cornell's.
