Giving

A defining characteristic of Cunniff-Dixon Foundation educational programs is that we do not accept commercial sponsorship. Cunniff-Dixon subsidizes its educational programs in order to attract the highest quality faculty and to achieve the best possible educational experiences.

The initial funding of the Foundation was provided by the two founding trustees, Carley’s father Richard T. Cunniff, and her husband, Andy Baxter. Gifts in memory of Carley went to the Foundation, and all subsequent financial support has come from friends and other donors interested in and committed to our mission.

As our projects multiply, we will require more financial support, and we will seek it only from individuals and entities that have no commercial objectives.
