More Than Just Keeping The Lights On

May 20 2005

Your annual gifts designated to ILR are THE most important source of unrestricted funds for the ILR School's operating budget.  Yes, they help keep the lights on.  Not quite glamorous enough for you?  How about this. Your unrestricted support:

  • Provides scholarship for students in need to attend ILR
  • Enables the School to avoid the evils of deferred maintenance on older buildings
  • Creates opportunities for responding to faculty initiatives in teaching and research
  • Sends students on -Bus Riding 101-(Yes, we still do this!)
  • Protects the School budget from the fluctuations in the economy
  • Strengthens the academic program across all departments
  • Undergirds an admissions team dedicated to finding and admitting the best and brightest diverse student body
  • Supports a vital and thriving career services function to prepare students for employment
  • Seeds programs and research in new areas of importance to the global world of work
  • Brings practitioners and dignitaries into the classroom as guest speakers
  • Offsets decreasing funding from New York State

Unrestricted support provides the backbone for financial stability for the ILR School.  Thank you for your gift!
