Cornell Giving Societies

As a Giving Society member you can help build the School of Industrial and Labor Relations and Cornell to a level of fiscal strength that is second to none.

Giving Societies at Cornell were created to encourage alumni and friends to continue a high level of personal annual giving and to recognize this accomplishment. Membership, an end in itself, is recognition for this annual giving that has such a high impact on the university. Giving Society members provide the colleges and units at Cornell not only the security of annual cash flow but also a margin of excellence. With a gift at the right amount, you automatically become a Giving Society member at Cornell.
