GIVING BACK TO PARSONS
We offer a number of opportunities for engagement with Parsons. All support has a profound impact on Parsons and the education of tomorrow’s design leaders.
The Annual Fund
Annual fund gifts are unrestricted, allowing for their immediate use toward Parsons’ highest priorities like: enhancing facilities, developing new academic programs, and supporting individual growth. In addition, every donation regardless of the amount, can serve as a catalyst for generating additional support. Foundations and corporations regularly look at the level of support contributed by those closest to the school when considering extending support to our public programs, exhibitions and special projects.
Giving Societies
The Frank Alvah Parsons Society
The Parents Leadership Council
Endowed Scholarships
You can establish an endowed scholarship either in your name or to honor someone else with a gift of $100,000 or more. Your endowment will produce revenue in perpetuity that provides aid for generations of Parsons students. To find our more about making an endowed gift to Parsons, please contact Susan Eddy in the development office at
eddys@newschool.edu or 212.229.5662 x3827.
Planned Giving
Developing an estate plan that addresses your personal financial needs and also provides important support to Parsons is becoming a popular strategy. In addition to benefiting Parsons, planned gifts can bring donors extra income and tax advantages. Examples of planned gifts include bequests, gifts of property, and charitable trusts. To find out more about planned giving at Parsons, please contact Joseph McDonald in the development office at
mcdonalj@newschool.edu or 212.229.5662 x4221.
