CIA Annual Giving For Parents
The CIA Annual Fund – An Investment in Your Child’s Future
As parents, we want to see our children reach their full potential in an environment that allows them to take maximum advantage of academic, career, and social opportunities.
The CIA Annual Fund – a renewable stream of private gifts from parents, alumni, and friends – helps The Culinary Institute of America provide and maintain that environment through its support of scholarships, curriculum innovations, facilities and technologies, library acquisitions, faculty initiatives, and even health and recreational opportunities.
An investment in the CIA Annual Fund makes a difference to approximately 2,000 students – including your own. The CIA is the “World’s Premier Culinary College,” with a stellar reputation and an exciting future. It’s a good investment that demonstrates your believe in the core mission of the CIA and the programs that enrich your student’s life. Each gift, no mater the size, has an immediate impact on our students. Students count on scholarship dollars provided by charitable gifts to achieve their goals.
The value of a student’s degree depends on the continued success of the CIA, and private support provides a margin of excellence for the CIA in an increasingly competitive culinary education market.
