WHY DO I GIVE?
“Whether it’s buying a brick, investing in the Library, or giving to the unrestricted Carnegie Mellon Fund, all of our gifts support our students.”
Everett Tademy
Assistant Vice President for Diversity and Equal Opportunity Services;
University Ombudsman; Co-Chair, Faculty & Staff Annual Fund Committee
As a Carnegie Mellon faculty or staff member, you are an essential part of our campus community and are connected with the philanthropic history on which this institution was founded.
Your dedication to excellence shows that you care about this institution, and that you have a stake in Carnegie Mellon’s success.
However, there is an additional way to demonstrate your Carnegie Mellon pride and commitment - making an annual gift. By investing in the university, you are underwriting the continued strength and vitality of the programs and students you work with each day.
The size of your gift is not as important as the act of giving itself. The university stretches every dollar to maximize its impact.
Why give?
Gifts from faculty and staff are important because:
- They help support Carnegie Mellon students, programs, projects and initiatives every day.
- Corporations and foundations look at giving when making grant allocation decisions.
