The Class Gift is a student-run initiative to give back to CBS through a donation to the annual fund.

We have three giving levels, allowing you to choose a gift that is most meaningful to you.

Why is the CBS Annual Fund so important?

Annual fund dollars make an immediate impact. CBS Scholarships provide students with opportunities to grow their abilities and explore their passions with the freedom of financial security. Contributions to the annual fund helped support more than 300 financial aid awards during the 2019-20 academic year.

How do we measure success?

Participation is our main goal; strong participation serves as an example to our peers about the importance of giving back, and demonstrates the School’s global alumni pride in the institution. The Class of 2020’s goal is 100 percent participation.

What is the 1916 Society and the Hermes Society?

Both are recognition clubs for the most generous supporters of the annual fund. The benefit of joining at either the recurring (1916 Society) or leadership (Hermes Society) level is the access you will get towards special events, special content, etc throughout the year.  Network with a wide array of CBS alumni, though regular happy hours, receptions, panel discussions, breakfasts, etc. and give back to CBS while advancing your own professional network!
