Discoveries That Make A Difference: The Campaign for Weill Cornell
Founded in 1898, Weill Cornell Medical College is among the top-ranked clinical and medical research centers in the country. Currently, Weill Cornell seeks to raise $1.3 billion in private philanthropy to fund a variety of initiatives that will further enhance the school’s research enterprise. The cornerstone of the Discoveries that Make a Difference campaign will be a new medical research building—in the heart of Manhattan—that will serve as Weill Cornell’s new home for translational research programs. The campaign will also fund research and clinical programs, faculty recruitment and scholarships for tomorrow’s doctors and medical researchers.
As of May 2010, a total of $1 billion has been raised in a record time of less than four years. CCS is proud to partner with Weill Cornell on this historical achievement. Previously, CCS partnered with Weill on the successful Advancing the Clinical Mission campaign, which, in 2005, achieved its $750 million goal one year ahead of schedule.
