Why should I give to Queens College?

 

Our commitment to excellence in education has remained steadfast. Due to the cuts in state and federal funding, we depend even more upon your support. Private gifts allow for programs that the state and federal governments can not. Every gift enhances the resources available to Queens College.

 

Now more than ever, your contribution to Queens College makes a difference to our students. Thanks to the thousands of friends and alumni who have contributed funds for academic programs, state-of-the-art equipment and scholarships, Queens was recognized as being in the top 10 percent of American Colleges in the 2001 US News and World Report.

Q Award Gala

I am only one of thousands of alumni. How can my participation make a difference?

 

There is strength in numbers. That's what the annual fund is about - your gift working with others to achieve a common goal. Last years' contributions from close to 12,000 friends and alumni amounted to more than $7.2 million in cash and pledges. When foundations and corporations consider gifts to the College, they look at alumni participation in the Annual Fund. Alumni support is also a component in the US News and World Report ranking of Queens College as one of the top colleges in the United States. It is important to realize the impact of your gift. Not only does it directly benefit today's students, it also helps create more funding by sending a direct message that our alumni believe in and support Queens College.
