The Cooper Union Alumni Association proudly supports Giving Day 2025 on April 29, the anniversary of our founding in 1859.
This annual tradition is more than a celebration—it’s our most important fundraising effort of the year. Together, we have the power to make a lasting impact on Cooper’s future. Let’s show what our alumni community can achieve together.
This year, Cooper is aiming for 1,026 gifts—a critical benchmark to help keep the institution on track to restore full-tuition scholarships for all undergraduate students.
Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference—and through a generous challenge, all donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $1 million, doubling your impact.
To thank donors:
– Gifts of $100 or more will receive a 5×7 archival print of the Foundation Building
– Gifts of $500 or more will receive a matted 6×9 version
The featured artwork, The Foundation Building with lights, 2008 by Mario Mogado, is a tribute to the legacy that unites us all.
As alumni, we understand the power of a Cooper education—and the responsibility we share to preserve that opportunity for future students.
