Gift Opportunities

If you are interested in supporting the Cornell University Center for Advanced Computing (CAC) with a gift or you are interested in a partner relationship, please contact Paul Redfern via Email or 607-227-1865.

Examples of gifts to CAC are software grants by industry leading companies such as Fluent; and education grants, such as the sponsorship of computational biology undergraduate internships by IBM. The endowment of post-doctoral fellowships is among many gift giving opportunities.

If you would like to make a gift to Cornell Computing and Information Science (CIS) to support research, education, or its new building initiative, please contact Justine Schaffner, Director of Development and Corporate Relations, Computing and Information Science via Email. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded $25 million to Cornell to support the construction of a signature building for a planned information campus that will bring together several units of the Faculty of Computing and Information Science.

William H. Gates Hall is projected to cost about $50 million. Expanded construction beyond the signature building is planned, based on support from Cornell and additional donors.
