You can provide crucial unrestricted funds by making a gift to the Tisch School of the Arts' annual fund, now part of The Fund for NYU. Because the level of participation in The Fund strongly influences corporations and foundations in the grant-making decision process, the value of your gift can be multiplied many times over.
Parents of current Tisch students often choose to direct their unrestricted gifts to the NYU Parents Fund. This is a particularly meaningful gift for parents since the Fund has such a direct affect on the quality of the educational experience that their sons and daughters enjoy. It provides indispensable support for giving the school the capacity to respond to a wide-range of school-wide or departmental needs.
Giving levels and recognition are as follows:
Friend of the Arts, $35 - $249
- Listing in the Tisch Alumni Newsletter and Annual Report to Donors
Sponsor of the Arts, $250 - $499
