Every year, CI must raise more than $1M from friends and allies like you to fund its social and educational programming in the community. Whether equipping our food pantry to distribute 45,000 nourishing meals or mentoring more than 1,000 youth in local schools each year, CI profoundly shapes how a rising generation of Columbia and Barnard students practice engaged citizenship.
Your financial support is vital for us to continue delivering high-impact programs in adult education, youth development, and housing and food security. As costs rise, your contribution helps cultivate public service leaders and strengthen our community. Join us in making a difference!
