Your Gift Makes a Difference
Fuel the Future of Communication and Information
On Rutgers Giving Day—and every day—you can make a meaningful difference by supporting the School of Communication and Information through a gift to the Dean’s Excellence Fund and/or the Alumni Association’s Endowed Scholarship Fund.
Rutgers is more than just a place—it is a vibrant community where people and ideas thrive. It is a home that nurtures growth, fosters connection, and strengthens the values that matter most. Your support helps ensure that this community continues to inspire and empower future generations.

Many companies and foundations sponsor matching gift programs for their employees’ philanthropic interests. These companies may be willing to double or even triple the value of charitable gifts made by employees or their spouses. In these instances, you will be recognized for the full amount of your gift plus any employer match. Contact your company’s human resource department to find out if it has a matching gift program or use our online search to see if your company will match your gift.

Charitable gifts help you meet your current philanthropic goals and extend your generosity well into the future.

You can even make a significant impact through a gift that costs nothing in your lifetime.
