Finance Department
Transform the Future of Finance: Empower Our Students with Your Gift
Your gift to the Isenberg Finance Department is more than just a donation—it’s an investment in shaping the next generation of finance leaders. With your support, we can continue to offer world-class education and student experiences that shape tomorrow's innovators.
Our goal is to raise $85,000 from 100 gifts in just two days. This funding will support initiatives such as:
- The second Isenberg School of Management Finance Conference in Spring 2026
- The second Isenberg School of Management PhD Student Conference in Spring 2026
- An Isenberg Pitch Conference on campus
- A Finance Reception in NYC for students to connect with industry leaders
- Trips to NYC for valuable networking opportunities
- Scholarships for students pursuing their CFA certification
- Isenberg Real Estate Fund and Awards events, connecting students with alumni and employers
- A special alumni event showcasing student-led community projects
Additionally, an anonymous donor is challenging the finance community to support what they love: for every 10 gifts, they will contribute $7,500 to help retain and recruit the best finance faculty, up to $75,000!
With your help, we’re confident we can reach this goal and continue to provide opportunities that set our students up for success.
Thank you for your continued support—together, we’re shaping the future of finance!
