Support That Lives On

Your Gift Can Last Forever

An endowment gift to the Culinary Institute of America today empowers the food and hospitality leaders of tomorrow. When you make a donation to an endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.

Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at the Culinary Institute of America. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.

An Example of How It Works

Couple Smiling Longtime supporters of the Culinary Institute of America, Charlie and Chris have two goals: First, they want to make sure the Culinary Institute of America continues to receive support after they are gone. Second, they want to create a lasting legacy for Charlie’s parents.

Charlie and Chris make a $25,000 donation to CIA, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support our mission in honor of Charlie’s parents. Plus, Charlie and Chris qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
