DIVERTING FUNDS
DIVERTING FUNDS
Help us hit a goal of $30,000 split across four meaningful organizations.
The links track the number of donations so we can measure our impact and the money CU is losing out on from alumni donations and event attendance due to their actions.
We encourage giving the amount you would have paid for any (or all!) of the Barnard and Columbia University Reunion Events: General Reunion Weekend Ticket for All Classes ($150), Chelsea Piers Party ($125 or $85 for Young Alumni), Class of 2015: Reception and Dinner ($85).
Columbia Palestine Solidarity Legal Fund: Over a hundred Columbia and Barnard students and allied faculty involved in the student movement for Palestine since April 2024, with dozens more facing repercussions, including threats of deportation or discrimination from DHS and ICE. Student and faculty protestors harmed by Columbia and Barnard’s disciplinary repression have retained a firm to pursue legal actions. All donations from this GoFundMe will be paid to the retained law firm.
Rowad Al-Amal Centre for Education and Training: Founded in 2018 and based in Al-Bureij Camp in central Gaza, the Rowad Al-Amal Center for Education and Training is a youth-led initiative dedicated to providing educational services to the Palestinian community. Donations are used to pay teachers’ salaries, provide school supplies to 2,000 children, and set up tents to expand spaces for learning and joy.
Go Project Hope: Go Project Hope, in collaboration with the Gaza Soup Kitchen, is feeding hungry families in the Jabaliya refugee camp in North Gaza. $4 provides a meal for an entire family, $28 feeds a family for one week, and $120 feeds a family for a whole month.
RAWA: A participatory, Palestinian-led initiative to community work and community-based resourcing, Rawa brings together grassroots activists, scholars, and community leaders.
