“Establishing the Dr. Charles Lindsay Gover and Kathryn Driscoll Gover scholarships through the Brooklyn College Foundation provided the unique opportunity to honor the memories of my mother and brother, who both shared a passion for the medical and health professions. Working with the foundation also allowed me to support and encourage Brooklyn College undergraduates while at the same time enhancing and enriching their studies in the sciences and health professions. While the recipients are recognized for their academic achievements, I too am rewarded through their inspiring testimonials. As one student put it: ‘This award plays an important role in the achievement of my educational goals. I promise you I will work hard and give back to others, just as you have helped me.’ ”
— Kathleen A. Gover, Associate Dean, retired

travel FundsIn our complex and interconnected world, global literacy is an essential pillar in 21st-century liberal learning. Incorporating international experiences into a college education helps students earn credit toward their degree, strengthens their professional résumé, improves their foreign language skills and broadens their perspectives on the world. Faculty, who pursue research and scholarship overseas, bring these experiences back to the classroom. In an effort to expand and deepen international educational opportunities, generous alumni and friends have established the following funds to provide Brooklyn College students and faculty with the necessary support to study and perform research abroad and throughout the country:

how you Can support Brooklyn College
The Brooklyn College Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals, foundations and corporations to help further the college’s mission of providing high-quality, affordable education to our students. There are many ways that donors can support our work.
The Annual FundUnrestricted annual gifts by alumni and friends provide for current needs that cannot be funded by state assistance, tuition or fees. The college increasingly relies on such private contributions to strengthen its programs. Common uses of unrestricted funds include student and faculty support, emergency renovations, academic initiatives, research assistance and the purchase of books, collections, supplies and equipment.
The Boylan SocietyThe Boylan Society is the Brooklyn College Foundation’s monthly giving program. When you join the Boylan Society, you authorize the foundation to receive a monthly tax-deductible gift from your checking account or by credit card. This is a wonderful opportunity to provide dependable, enduring and reliable support to your alma mater. You will no longer need to be concerned with renewal payments or reminder mailings. And since automatic monthly gifts do not require outreach efforts to secure, they are the most efficient way to sustain the level of academic excellence at Brooklyn College.
Corporations and FoundationsThe Brooklyn College Foundation works with faculty and college leadership to identify, build and steward relationships with corporations and foundations to ensure long-term and mutually beneficial partnerships. We aim to understand the needs of corporations and foundations and connect them with appropriate solutions at Brooklyn College. With a world-class faculty, a diverse and talented student body and strong academic and co-curricular programs, Brooklyn College offers significant investment opportunities.
Establishing a Restricted FundA restricted fund helps to meet the needs of Brooklyn College and our students while reflecting the specific interests or desires of a donor. Restricted funds may support student scholarships, awards and travel stipends, as well as faculty research and endowed professorships. Establishing and naming a restricted fund can be a special way to honor or memorialize a loved one’s interests or accomplishments, honor a former student and/or faculty member or encourage students in a particular academic area. The Brooklyn College Foundation welcomes donations to establish and name new restricted funds, as well as donations of any size in support of already existing restricted funds.

We also accept automatic fund transfers from your checking or savings account.
The Legacy Society: Planned Gifts Members of the Legacy Society share our vision of academic excellence for future generations by making a provision for the college in their estate planning. The Brooklyn College Foundation offers several future- oriented investment opportunities including charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts or life insurance. Legacy Society members may also make planned gifts in the form of a bequest.
Matching Gifts: Double the Impact of Your DonationIf your company matches employee contributions to higher education, you may be eligible to have your gift to the Brooklyn College Foundation matched. Your employer’s human resources office can supply you with the specific instructions about getting your donation matched. For a quick reference, visit our matching gift
search engine online to determine if your company will match your gift: www.brooklyn.cuny.edu. If so, you may be able to the access the forms needed to start the matching process.
Naming OpportunitiesBrooklyn College offers a wide spectrum of naming opportunities. Individuals or groups of donors may select from a menu of naming options ranging from commemorative bricks in front of our new West Quad Center, to benches near our beloved lily pond, to classrooms or lecture halls around campus. These are very special opportunities to leave behind a legacy at the college while contributing to the success of future Brooklyn College students.
Tributes and MemorialsThe Brooklyn College Foundation Tribute and Memorial Program was created in response to alumni requests as a means to offer special recognition to those who have made a difference in their lives. A donation to the Tribute and Memorial Program gives you the opportunity to honor a loved one, friend, business associate or caregiver. Gifts have been made to commemorate special occasions including birthdays, anniversaries or retirement. The program is a meaningful way to express feelings of remembrance or gratitude.
