Since its founding in 1930, Brooklyn College has excelled at providing a high-quality, affordable education to students of diverse backgrounds, many of them children of immigrants, working-class New Yorkers and others seeking access to academic excellence.

Throughout the decades, the college has adapted to our changing world and to the educational needs of Brooklyn, New York City and the nation by establishing innovative programs, creating new academic facilities, expanding technology support, and improving the infrastructure for academic support services.

And it is your generosity that makes this happen.

As public funding for higher education continues to decline, private philanthropy plays an ever greater role in providing affordable access to outstanding higher education. We rely on private support to provide a margin of excellence beyond what is achievable with state funding and tuition income. Your commitment will make a tangible difference in the lives of our students. Please join us in supporting our mission.
