The Class Gift Campaign provides an opportunity for all graduating Columbia Law School students to commemorate their achievements by making a donation to the Law School before graduation.
Why Give?
Contributions aid in the creation of many new opportunities for students and faculty, including increased scholarships, new professorships, research centers, curricular innovations, and much more. All donors will be publicly recognized at this year's graduation ceremony and in the Columbia Law School Annual Report.
Participation Is Key: Give What You Can
The program’s success is measured by student participation rates. In 2019, 72 percent of the graduating class participated in their Class Gift.
Direct Your Gift: Six Areas of Support in the Annual Fund
Recognizing that you might like to make your contribution more targeted, the Class Gift campaign allows you to direct your giving to specific areas in the Annual Fund: Dean’s discretion, faculty support, international and LL.M. programs, student support, learning environment, or Social Justice Initiatives.
A Special Tribute to the Class of 2025: The Class Gift
Inspired by the opportunity to pass the baton to the next generation, Columbia Law School alumnus Michael Esquivel ’00, along with his wife, Kirsten, made a gift in honor of the graduating Class of 2025. Student support is central to Michael and Kirsten’s generosity to the Law School. And Michael looks forward to celebrating future reunions with this graduating class.
