Within the greater Division of Advancement, the Office of Institutional Advancement is responsible for raising private dollars—and in particular, major gifts—from corporations and foundations, as well as alumni and friends of the College. It achieves this through donor cultivation; the annual fund campaign’s direct mail and phone-a-thon programs; the planned giving program for bequests, charitable trusts, insurance, and gift annuities; and special events.

Goals

Strategically, the Office has two goals: the first is to identify and cultivate those individuals, corporations, and foundations that can respond to a broad range of the College’s needs. The second is to increase the overall percentage of alumni who give to Lehman. All gifts, whether large or small, support Lehman scholarships and fellowships; faculty and academic departments; research and graduate programs; capital and equipment needs; and community outreach through the Center for the Performing Arts, the Lehman College Gallery, lectures, and theater productions.
