Volunteering

Looking for a volunteer opportunity? Please see our Volunteers Make a Difference page to learn how you can help.

At Cornell we've divided the University into 25 divisions, each represented by at least one Division Deputy whose responsibilities include thanking individuals who make a pledge and supporting the goal of increased participation. If your division already has a deputy, please contact them to offer assistance. If your division does not have a deputy, please consider volunteering for this extremely important job. To serve the Cornell community as a Division Deputy please contact Cornell's Division Deputy Coordinator.


Based on IRS Regulations, donors who make a one-time gift of $250.00 or more (either by cash, check, or credit card), or who give a gift of stock (any amount), will receive a letter from United Way Tompkins County regarding that gift for tax purposes. For gifts less than $250.00, donors should use their cancelled check or payroll stub as verification for tax purposes.
