Members are committed to giving back to Cornell through volunteer efforts and philanthropy. One of PCCW's yearly member expectations is a gift to the university at a level of individual choice. PCCW's philanthropic projects offer many special opportunities.

The Current Use Fund supplements money generated each year by the PCCW endowed funds and supports PCCW initiatives and goals. When you give to this fund, you're putting dollars directly into the hands of Cornell students, faculty, and staff and investing in PCCW.

The PCCW Leadership Scholarship awarded yearly to one or more Cornell sophomores, juniors, or seniors. Your gift to this endowment fund supports students who have exhibited leadership at Cornell.

These PCCW endowments support student scholarships.
Up to three undergraduate students are selected for this fellowship each year. These students demonstrate a commitment to work, public service, and academic excellence. Your gift to this endowment fund ensures bright, promising students can study at Cornell, no matter what their financial means.

PCCW Affinito-Stewart Grants support non-tenured Cornell faculty as well as other junior faculty without tenure or equivalent engaged in research and scholarship relating to women’s issues and gender equality.

Leadership Grants provide support to Cornell-affiliated students, faculty, administrators, and staff for projects that prepare and/or recognize leadership. For purposes of this grant, leadership is defined broadly as the art of motivating others to achieve something new and better.

To recognize PCCW's 25th Anniversary in 2015, the university's sesquicentennial, and the administration's commitment to expand the Gannett Health Center (now known as Cornell Health), PCCW raised money for a waiting room in sexual health and wellness services named in honor of PCCW and Susan Murphy, who retired in June 2015 after 21 years as vice president for Student and Academic Services.

Susan was an important part of PCCW for decades and the successful funding of the Gannett Health Center project was one of her highest priorities. We raised over $250,000 in gifts and multi-year pledges in 2015 and continue to take contributions. Please contact Tom LaFalce for more information on options for multi-year gifts.
