Columbia Business Fund
Columbia Business Fund Overview | Make a Gift or Pledge
Just as Columbia Business School plays a crucial role in the success of its alumni, alumni are vital to the School’s success. Alumni giving, through the Columbia Business Fund (formerly called the Annual Fund), underwrites initiatives that directly affect the quality of student life, including technological advancements, faculty research, curriculum innovations, financial aid and student programs.
The Hermes Society
For the past 5 years, The Hermes Society has been the driving force behind growing Columbia Business School’s unrestricted funds. Today the Hermes Society has over 350 members and contributes more than $2 million annually for the School. It would take $40 million in endowment funds to generate this amount of unrestricted revenue.
