October 20 is Columbia Giving Day, an 24-hour online fundraising event to bolster support for the most urgent priorities across the University.

Today every dollar donated to GSAPP will go towards financial aid, and donors may choose which scholarship funds to support. The collective generosity of our community is central to the School’s effort to welcome and support students from all backgrounds.

In 2020, 175 GSAPP alumni and friends were inspired to give on Columbia Giving Day. Together, we raised nearly $60,000 to support current students and create more possibilities for the future.

Please consider participating in Giving Day this year, and help us ensure that each student has the support they need to thrive.

It’s all about our collective impact. With alumni living in 100 countries and students from 60 countries, GSAPP represents one of the most culturally vibrant communities at Columbia. Every gift made from outside of the US helps GSAPP earn additional challenge funds.

Below, a selection of recent news from the international GSAPP community…from Bogotá to Berlin, Rwanda, and beyond.
