What Your Gift Can Do

Whether it is a gift to YSN's Annual Fund or to support a specific program, your gift helps our students in many ways..

Your gift helps to minimize YSN's dependency on tuition revenues, a critical issue when confronted with insufficient financial aid resources
Because YSN's endowment provides only 8% of our operating expenses, your gift makes a difference in contributing to much needed financial support
Gifts provide important funding for special research projects by our faculty and students
Current use gifts from alumnae/i and friends provide the balance

An endowed fund, which benefits YSN in perpetuity, can be established with a gift of $50,000 or more. Current use gifts to YSN's Annual Fund are vital to YSN's annual operation and are used at the discretion of the Dean in areas of greatest need. Donors can designate current use gifts to a variety of categories.
