Cornell University: Crowdfunding burst features twenty-seven student groups

The 2022 crowdfunding burst is back—bigger and better than ever. Cornell crowdfunding, now in its tenth year, connects student teams to the greater Cornell community, to build support for projects and big ideas they are most passionate about.

A total of 27 groups are taking part in this year’s burst, which runs from November 1 through December 6, 2022. Over 300 peer fundraisers will be rallying support for their projects.

“I love crowdfunding,” says Jon Gregory, associate director of donor participation and college and unit partnerships for Cornell Alumni Affairs and Development. “Seeing participation go up from 17 groups in 2021 to 27 groups in 2022—a 58% increase in one year—shows me that our November crowdfunding burst has become a cornerstone of the student experience. These students invest so much time and energy in these projects, and they are so grateful for every dollar they raise!”
