Welcome
Welcome, Cornell Annual Fund Volunteers!
The Annual Fund Insider is your gateway to information that will inform your work as a volunteer solicitor. On our pages, you will find a timeline for the year, staff contact information, descriptions of our committees, and other items of interest. Our email templates for conducting your outreach and our publications pages are ones you will likely be visiting most often. Under Publications, you will find our Volunteer Training Manual and our Annual Fund Usages Guide, with separate PDFS for each of the funds and links to each of their giving landing pages.
We encourage you to bookmark this page now and check-in regularly to see our latest updates. Our goal is for the Annual Fund Insider to be an indispensable tool in your work with us.
About Volunteer Giving Initiatives (VGI)
VGI is a team within Alumni Affairs and Development’s Leadership Annual Giving office. We work with nearly 500 active alumni who serve as volunteer solicitors, reaching out to more than 70,000 alumni each year. The connections that volunteers make with fellow alumni create powerful opportunities for sharing experiences, discussing philanthropic interests, and further strengthening the Cornell alumni community.
