Our Blue & Gold Society members are leadership donors who provide philanthropic support to create and sustain an extraordinary Ithaca College experience for thousands of students each year. Their annual fund gifts are intended to be spent in the year the gift is made, making an immediate difference where it is needed the most.

With a gift of $1,000 or more* to one of our many annual funds, we invite you to be a part of the collective impact being made from the dedicated supporters in our Blue & Gold Society. You can designate your gift to the annual fund, or split between the areas of Ithaca College that mean the most to you to see your philanthropy in action!

Blue & Gold Society gifts further the mission of Ithaca College. Some examples of annual fund support in action include:

  • Ensuring students have access to a transformative college education
  • Offering comprehensive academic programming across five schools
  • Attracting and retain renowned faculty
  • Empowering students and faculty to build and implement programs that bridge the gap between community and college
  • Providing experiential learning opportunities outside of the classroom
  • Helping to test their skills beyond the classroom and gain professional experiences before they graduate, giving them the edge they need to succeed.

Your support has made a tangible difference in my life, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity you have provided me. I hope someday I can pay this gift forward."
