Johnson Annual Fund

The Johnson Annual Fund welcomes gifts of all sizes and your gift matters! The collective impact of Annual Fund support is extraordinary: $2.5 million from the Johnson Annual Fund provides Dean Joe Thomas current use spending power equivalent to the payout of a fifty million dollar endowment. Financial support provided by the Johnson Annual Fund becomes even more important when endowments fluctuate in value.

For Dean Thomas, a strong Annual Fund has been an essential resource for achieving the school’s strategic goals. Because gifts made to the Johnson Annual Fund are unrestricted, the resources can be invested in the programs or opportunities that are deemed most promising. This allows the dean to provide funding for areas vital to the school’s competitiveness and essential to the school’s ability to excel and innovate.

A strong Annual Fund will enable Dean Joe Thomas and his successor, Dean Designate Soumitra Dutta, to continue the school’s tradition of excellence. Your gift helps elevate the prestige of Johnson, demonstrates confidence in the school’s direction, and enhances the value of the degrees we offer.

Do you work for a Matching Gift company? If so, the impact of your personal gift will be multiplied by the employer contribution. The following web site may be helpful if you are unsure whether your employer matches gifts:

Many busy alumni lose sight of Johnson's fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) and inadvertently miss making a gift some years. We hope you will join others who support the school each year by making your commitment an annually recurring one. When you visit www.giving.cornell.edu/give/johnson, simply choose the Gift Type: Recurring, set your Frequency: Annually, and then include an expiration date.

Every gift to the Johnson Annual Fund will have an immediate impact on the quality of education offered to our students. Please make a gift this year and every year, and help continue Johnson's legacy of leadership.
