Cornell Annual Fund

A gift to the Annual Fund is one of the most direct means of supporting Cornell. It's a pool of unrestricted money available immediately, and applied wherever the need is most pressing.  

The impact of Annual Fund gifts is powerful. Every $5,000 in Annual Fund support gives Cornell the same purchasing power in one year as $100,000 in endowment.

Every gift does count—75% of gifts are $250 or less! In fiscal year 2009, Annual Fund gifts totaled $24.4 million.
