Your Gift
Means Everything
The College of Dental Medicine (CDM) was founded at
Columbia University in 1917 through the efforts of individuals who recognized
the value of a professional education for dentists. The doctors and dentists
dedicated their time, invested their passion and staked their own fortunes to
ensure the success of the College. In giving to the College of Dental Medicine,
you continue a tradition of philanthropy that has made the College one of the
world’s preeminent institutions of learning.
Every gift has a different story behind it. And while
everyone has a different reason for giving, every gift is important.
- Your gift moves CDM
forward as it honors its past. It repays the gifts you received from those
who came before you.
- Your gift confirms the
quality of your own (or your child’s or your spouse’s) experience at Columbia.
It is given in appreciation for the doors of opportunity the College has
opened for you throughout your life.
- Your gift enriches the
lives of our students. It inspires their gratitude and informs their
conscience. It supports the thoughtful education of tomorrow’s professional
oral health care leaders.
- Your gift makes CDM affordable
where it wouldn’t be otherwise and allows the College to welcome the best
and brightest students regardless of their ability to pay.
- Your gift affirms a
shared belief that research and education is the key to securing a better
future for our world.
Your Gift
Is Needed
A significant portion of the CDM’s annual revenue has its
origins in philanthropic support for the College—some recent, some past. In
order to open its doors each year, CDM relies on the generosity of past
generations (through its endowment) and new gifts for operating purposes
(through capital gifts and through gifts to the Annual Fund).
