Give To Purchase

Want to know why our students and faculty continue to amaze, engage, excel, and inspire? A lot has to do with your generosity.

With only 20% of the college’s annual operating budget coming from the State of New York, your gifts have a direct impact on our students’ opportunities, morale, and creative capacity. Because of you, they can continue to research, perform, create, experiment, and most importantly, persist to graduation.

The Purchase College Foundation is our liaison between givers and recipients. The generosity of private donors provides Purchase College students with scholarships and an environment that ensures success, helps us recruit talented faculty and provides critical outreach to members of our community. Your funds also support important arts education programs and exhibitions at the Neuberger Museum of Art and programs and performances at The Performing Arts Center.

There are many ways that you can help: you can give online, volunteer your time, or consider setting up a long term planned gift to continue your legacy into the future.

For those who give, we truly cannot thank you enough.
