Our biggest fundraising event of the year is just around the corner! On April 29th the Cooper Union community will celebrate Giving Day 2025 in honor of our founding. It’s the day we bring together students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends to support current and future undergraduate Cooper students. And what better way to celebrate than to see the Cooper community in action in the video below!

This year, we’re asking all community members to donate and help us reach our goal of 1,026 gifts. Why 1,026 gifts? It’s the number we need to keep us on track to restore full-tuition scholarships for all undergraduates. And any amount donated counts toward our goal.  Will you join us?

What’s new this year?

• All gifts will be matched -DOLLAR-for-DOLLAR- up to $1 million!
• For a gift of $100 or more, you’ll receive a beautiful 5x7 archival print* of the Foundation Building.
• For a gift of $500 or more, you’ll receive a larger 6x9 print*, elegantly matted and ready for display.

This year’s exclusive print features the winning image from our community vote:
