• Institutional Advancement

The Office of Institutional Advancement partners with academic programs and GC centers in order to strengthen a culture of philanthropy across the school and increase private gifts in support of institutional priorities.

We do this by:

• Identifying potential funding sources including private foundations, corporations, and individuals, and collaborating with programs and centers on fundraising strategy

• Providing guidance on grant-writing and budget development

• Advising on major gift strategy and various giving vehicles, including planned gifts

• Coordinating alumni fundraising appeals, both online and traditional print mailings, in conjunction with the departments

• Assisting with the design and execution of cultivation events for potential donors and alumni

• Tracking, reporting, and stewarding private gifts, which includes producing accurate tax-receipts for donors as well as specialized reports for larger gifts

• Managing and cultivating the Graduate Center Foundation Board, who serve as institutional ambassadors and are tasked with identifying new funding sources and supporters for the GC
