Your Gift Makes a Difference
Thank you for your support of NYU! Gifts to NYU directly benefit our extraordinary students and scholars, who come to NYU to take advantage of the unique educational opportunities that only we can offer, from our renowned faculty and innovative schools and programs to our location in the heart of New York City.
NYU relies on its dedicated community of alumni, parents, friends, patients, faculty, staff, and administrators to help facilitate its continued excellence. Gifts to NYU support financial aid and scholarships, allow us to recruit and retain a world class faculty, to build and renovate state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories, and so much more.
As the largest private university in the country, NYU has many areas that need support, and this website can help match your interests with our most important priorities. Regardless of where you direct your support, your gift will truly make a difference.

Edward Fox Establishes the Herman Robert Fox Deanship at College of Dentistry
Edward Fox (STERN '75) recently gave a generous gift to create the Herman Robert Fox Deanship at the College of Dentistry in memory of his father, Herman Robert Fox, who graduated from the College in 1926.
Edward Fox received an M.B.A. from the Stern School of Business. He was formerly dean of the Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and chairman of SLM Corp. (Sallie Mae), the Student Loan Marketing Association. He currently serves as chairman of the Board of the American Ballet Theatre.
"When I made the decision to honor my father's memory, and spoke to my mother about her wishes, we agreed that it was altogether appropriate that my father's name be linked with his alma mater," said Fox.

Fund for NYU Tops $23 Million in Record Year
This year, The Fund for NYU once again exceeded its goal, bringing in more than $23 million to help meet the University's most immediate needs. The Fund was able to reach its all-time high thanks to the unprecedented number of alumni, parents, students, employees, and friends who participated. More than 40,000 people made annual fund gifts during the fiscal year that ended on August 31.
Gifts from alumni made up a vast portion of the total, making an important, positive impact on NYU. "The consistent rise in alumni giving over the past several years has given us a significant boost as we work to increase scholarships and improve student life," said Debra LaMorte, senior vice president for university development and alumni relations. "Gifts come in every size, but whether large or small, every donation makes a difference. And with only one year to go in the Campaign for NYU, it was important for us to reach out and ask all members of our community to show support for our students and the University," added LaMorte.
The Fund for NYU was founded in 2001 to form one collective fund for all of NYU's schools and colleges. Participants can target their gifts to support any of NYU's 14 schools and divisions, athletics, or other programs of their choice.
