The Contribution Project gives you $400 to make the world around you a better place in a way that you’re passionate about.

Are you an undergraduate student at Cornell, SUNY Stony Brook, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Plattsburgh, or SUNY Morrisville, and do you want to make a difference in your community?

If the answer to both of those is yes, you should apply to The Contribution Project! For the Spring 2025 cycle, we have 200 spots available for undergraduates from these schools.

Apply to the Contribution Project between February 1-21, 2025.

Be sure to use your university email address!
