Endowed funds established during the Greater > Than campaign

Jonathan Brand“Cornell’s endowment is comprised of over 600 individual funds, most named by donors in honor or memory of beloved family members, classmates, or faculty. Our endowment is a snapshot of Cornell’s history and individuals’ hopes for its future. It reflects the love and commitment that Cornellians have for our special corner of the world.” — Jonathan Brand, President

Endowed funds continue to be critical for Cornell College. The individual endowment funds provide essential, timeless, and permanent support for extraordinary Cornell faculty and students, as well as operating funds for programs, experiential learning opportunities, and even landscaping for our beautiful Hilltop campus.

The college is deeply grateful to all individuals who have made gifts to Cornell’s endowment. These individuals or families have made outright endowment commitments of $50,000 or more to establish new, or add to existing, endowed funds:
