Make a Gift

Gifts to the CALS Annual Fund are directed by Dean Boor to where the need is greatest. Currently, the Annual Fund directly supports CALS’ most valuable resource: its people. For students and faculty, these contributions help to ensure that they can take full advantage of the incredible intellectual resources at Cornell, as well as to create opportunities in service to local, national, and global communities.

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has opened its doors of higher education to the best and brightest future students for more than 100 years. Scholarship endowment is critical to ensuring that the cost of a CALS education stays within the financial reach of deserving students, without regard to their financial circumstances.

While not always top of mind when it comes to giving, graduate student support is critical to the future of CALS. Enhancing the quality of top programs and research attracts the most promising students, providing faculty with the opportunity to mentor some of the world's top young scientists.

Our faculty's globally recognized expertise is the cornerstone of CALS' reputation as a premier institution of scientific learning and enables us to attract the best students. Gifts in support of faculty help us attract outstanding researchers and instructors, while retaining those already on campus. Areas of focus include: food and nutrition security; climate change; biological systems; big data; media and communication strategies; and social and ecological system resilience.
