Annual Investment. Daily Impact.

Gifts to the Annual Fund help Carnegie Mellon fill its greatest needs, supporting everything from financial aid to maintenance of the campus and facilities.

Each gift benefits today’s students and faculty, but it also has an impact on everyone who holds a degree from Carnegie Mellon.

That is because each alumni gift boosts the university’s “alumni giving participation rate,” an important factor in the collegiate rankings produced by U.S. News & World Report and other publications.

No matter how large or small, each gift helps Carnegie Mellon move up in the rankings. And when the university is ranked more highly, each degree holds even greater value.
