Gift Designations
Innocent Habiyaremye Memorial Award
This award will honor one student who embodies a sense of community spirit in their everyday actions. The award was first established in memory of an MS20 INI alumnus who inspired others through his kindness and volunteer activities.
INI Strategic Fund
The INI Strategic Fund supports areas that are most in need and most impactful. Distributed at the discretion of the INI Director, these funds go towards scholarships, curriculum enrichment, technology upgrades, research projects and more.
Roseanne K. Silva Endowed Professional Development Fund
Experiential learning is the cornerstone of the INI experience. Through the generous support of INI alumna Rose Silva ('91), this endowed fund enables students to participate in career-building opportunities by covering essential costs such as travel, registration fees and other expenses.
Joyce Brocaglia - EWF Endowed Fellowship
Established in honor of the CEO of Alta Associates and founder of the Executive Women's Forum (EWF), the Joyce Brocaglia - EWF Endowed Fellowship seeks to provide support to INI graduate students who qualify for financial aid.
INI Graduate Student Fellowship Fund
Did you know tuition dollars cover only about two-thirds of a CMU education? And that more than 50% of CMU students receive critical financial aid? Thanks to your support, the INI is able to bridge the gap for many students. These funds go directly to assisting our students with tuition.
EWF INI Fellow Fund
The EWF INI Fellow Fund provides support specifically for EWF INI Fellows for books, cost of living and other expenses associated with graduate school. The fund was established by a 2010 alumna who was inspired to continue building the community of support she experienced at CMU.
ACS Legacy Scholarships
If you’re interested in developing a meaningful relationship with an INI student, consider funding an ACS Legacy Scholarship. Since these funds are not endowed, your entire gift (four annual payments of $2,500 each) will immediately benefit the student recipient.
Why I Give
"For me, it really is about the next generation and enabling someone to realize their potential. This is a very prestigious organization and to be here is not cheap but there is so much talent and I am really awed by that. I encourage you to start early. You can build as you become more established in your career. Keep adding those zeros."
Roseanne Silva, 1991 ALUMNUS
"I give because I know it makes a difference. The education I received through the INI has been foundational to my success and I want to make sure future students have the same opportunities I had."
DANIEL VOTIPKA, 2012 ALUMNUS
"As an international student with a modest upbringing, I realized a transformative benefit from CMU and INI that jump-started my career. Now I help INI continue its mission through giving and as chair of the Alumni Leadership Council - so proud that the ALC has 100% participation in giving!"
JOHN DROGGITIS, 1991 ALUMNUS
"I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for the generosity of donors. I would like to pay it forward and give others the same opportunity."
ERYE HERNANDEZ, 2014 ALUMNUS
