Support the Next Generation of Journalists
On Columbia Giving Day, your gift helps Columbia Journalism School prepare courageous, ethical journalists to report the stories that shape our world. Every contribution strengthens scholarships, innovative reporting opportunities, and the educational experience our students rely on.
What Unrestricted Support provides:
Access
Each year, talented, admitted students face a real decision—not whether they belong here, but whether they can afford to attend. A Columbia Journalism education is rigorous, immersive, and significant in its financial commitment. For many students, attendance depends on financial support. The Annual Fund ensures that cost is not the barrier. It provides immediate, current-use support that helps incoming students say yes to Columbia and participate fully in their education.


Experience
Unrestricted support also enriches the student experience by providing opportunities for hands-on reporting, career development, mentorship, and meaningful connections with peers, alumni, and industry leaders. It also helps sustain the distinguished faculty and academic excellence that define the J-School, ensuring students learn from accomplished journalists while gaining the real-world experience and professional network they need to graduate ready to lead.
