Impact at Cornell
Cornell Tech
In 2011, Chuck Feeney’s foundation, The Atlantic Philanthropies, committed $350 million – the largest gift ever to Cornell, and one of the largest in the history of higher education – to build Cornell Tech. A graduate applied science and engineering campus on Roosevelt Island in New York City, Cornell Tech is designed to build New York’s tech capacity, spur innovation and entrepreneurship, and help position the city as a global tech center.
