Annual Funds: Immediate Support Where it Matters Most

The New School Annual Fund provides immediate and unrestricted support to the University’s most important priorities, including student resources, tools for teaching and learning, and other needs across our community. By making a gift to the Annual Fund of your choice, you strengthen the community of care that uplifts and empowers our students to innovate fearlessly. Thank you for joining us in advancing the next generation of leaders!

  • University-wide student services, including the Equity and Belonging Office
  • Student recognition events such as the Lang Dean's Honor Symposium and the annual Parsons Festival
  • Direct grants to students for internships, capstone projects, independent research, and social justice projects
  • Fellowships and stipends for graduate students
  • Acquisition of critical equipment including stage lighting, projectors, audio equipment, and new musical instruments
  • And more!

Continuing the Celebrations

We had so much fun celebrating Giving Day and Gnarls Narwhal's birthday that we aren't quite ready to stop the momentum. 

That means there is still time for you to contribute to your favorite fund and support art and politics, equity and inclusion, social justice, community empowerment and more! All while making a real difference in the lives and work of our students and faculty.

Stay tuned for more updates as the festivities continue!
