Forever Forward

The Campaign for Lehman College

This is a turning point for Lehman College—a $90 million, first-ever comprehensive fundraising campaign. Ignited by the transformational $30 million gift from MacKenzie Scott in 2020, and propelled by each contribution since, your support keeps that momentum alive.

Building a Strong Foundation

As the Bronx's only four-year CUNY college, Lehman educates more than 27,000 individuals each year, preparing them for careers, leadership, and impact.

Forever Forward is a declaration of belief in Lehman’s role as a launchpad for dreams, dignity, and direction. Our goal: to raise $90 million by the end of 2026, our 60th academic year. Join us.
