Transformational Giving

Stevens prepares talented, hardworking students to become leaders in a diverse, tech-rich world. Students benefit from their Stevens degrees on the career paths they pursue. Faculty benefit from an engaging environment as they pursue innovation. The rest of us, in communities across the globe, benefit from the ideas they bring to life.

Through transformational giving, philanthropists can realize their vision for the future of Stevens while making a lasting impact. Transformational gifts (donations of $100,000 or more) can be designated for current use or to establish a fund in perpetuity in Stevens’ endowment. Gifts to capital funds help build and restore campus facilities, and sustain a comprehensive range of academic programs.

The Stevens Endowment

Endowed funds contribute to the university’s financial strength and are vital to the long-term ability of Stevens to achieve its mission. The principal gift to establish an endowed fund is invested and grows over time, sustaining Stevens in perpetuity. The annual income from the endowed fund is directed to priorities a donor can designate, such as named scholarships, faculty chairs, graduate fellowships and other programs.
