Why should I give?
Scholarships, clubs, athletic teams, student life, academic programs and more are funded and made possible by gifts from generous Tigers who have come before you. When you make your gift, you’ll support your soon-to-be alma mater, be a leader in RIT’s tradition of philanthropy, and help other Tigers have the same great experience that you had.
Student and alumni participation in annual giving is a valuable measure of Tiger pride and satisfaction. It also plays a role in college rankings and gives more value to your degree, so your gift matters.
What can I support?
Here at RIT we have many funds, scholarships, programs and more that you can direct your gift to. YOU have the choice to decide where YOU want to make an impact. When making your gift, take a look at all of the available areas that can benefit from your generosity.
Want to make a bigger impact? Join the Sentinel Society!
As a student, you have the opportunity to become a member of this society when you make an annual gift of $500 for the next five years, to one of the 21 unrestricted funds.* That’s about $42/month or $1.50/day.
* Unrestricted gifts provide resources that allow the university to take advantage of unanticipated academic and student life opportunities, make life-changing international experiences accessible, offer powerful career-building and research programs, and react to numerous unforeseen challenges our students face.
What do I receive in return?
Not only will you be proud of giving back and doing your part to fuel the future of RIT Tigers, you’ll have the honor of wearing an
Orange & Black Philanthropy Cord
as you walk across the stage at Commencement. Philanthropy cords may be picked-up at You’re Impactful! (May 8, 2024) or from the University Advancement Office USC-3rd Floor (May 9-11, 2024).
In addition to the philanthropy cord, you will be invited to a donor-only reception with President Munson and Alumni Association President, Orlando Ortiz BS '04, MBA '08. You will receive a personal invitation once you have made your gift.
