Donating to the JFK Award Fund
The JFK Memorial Award is our Class Legacy to Cornell and is given annually to an outstanding senior who is dedicated to the field of public service.
The JFK Award endowment remains strong, thanks to continuing support from the class. While market performance has fluctuated over the past several years, the annual payout still supports a meaningful award level of $15,000.
With the approach of our 60th Reunion and beyond, we want to ensure that this Award continues to bestow meaningful grants well into the future! It will be a great gift to Cornell, a meaningful help to the Award winner and will continue to endow our Class's commitment to Democracy.
In order to further this Class goal we have recently established the
JFK Award Giving Circle as a way to encourage donations. You can
join by donating at one of three levels. Please consider making this an
annual donation, knowing that your commitment rewards both
scholarship and public service!
- Donor: $500-999
- Supporter: $1,000-4,999
- Benefactor: $5,000 and up
Here are the instructions for making a tax-deductible
donation to the Fund.
