The Baruch College Fund (BCF) is proud to be an official charity partner of New York Road Runners, for the TCS New York City Marathon this year! The course runs through all five of New York City’s boroughs: Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan’s iconic Central Park. It is a 26.2 mile block party through the world’s most diverse city, and a model for big-city marathons around the world.

Through this partnership, we are able to provide you the opportunity to make your miles meaningful and support the Baruch College community by raising awareness and funds that benefit thousands of Baruch students. Learn more >

The Tuesday following Thanksgiving is know as GivingTuesday, a global day of giving. For all CUNY schools and colleges, this day is called CUNYTuesday.

Your generosity provides our students with life-changing experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. Scholarships, internships, fellowships, and an array of career and academic support services—all the building blocks for student success—begin with an investment in our students.

These experiences reap rich rewards, offering a shot at the American Dream not only for our graduates but for their families as well. And in return, New York City, the metropolitan region, and beyond are all enriched by our talented and diverse alumni.

To compete with top academic institutions, Baruch needs to provide support for their faculty to hire graduate assistants; travel to conferences to present research; purchase data, software and special hardware; and develop new classes or curricula.

Endowed chairs enable Baruch to attract outstanding talent to the faculty. Because the endowment secures the position itself, it enables Baruch to appoint a distinguished professor and build a tradition of leadership in the selected discipline. The endowed chair is widely recognized as the most prestigious honor a college can bestow upon a faculty member.

Research funds are crucial to strengthening and providing the resources needed for faculty to advance in their discipline. Funds also help junior faculty members and graduate students to explore their own original ideas and research methods.

Other opportunities to support Baruch faculty include gifts for deanships, junior faculty positions, visiting professorships, and key staff positions. If you are interested, please contact Laura Kotkin at 646-660-6074 or laura.kotkin@baruch.cuny.edu

Baruch believes that every student should have access to the best education regardless of household income. The reality is that some of the most-talented high school graduates accepted to Baruch will never step foot on campus. It’s not because they lack desire or are unwilling to work hard for a college education, but because they cannot afford the full cost of an education—tuition and living expenses can add up to what their families earn in an entire year.

Each year, Baruch puts a degree within reach for thousands of students who without financial aid might not ever have the opportunity. Unfortunately, the College is not able to help every students without additional support from alumni like you.
