Columbia Giving Day is here! Today, Columbians around the world are coming together to support the students, schools, and causes closest to our hearts.

Take a moment to remember your own Columbia story. Perhaps it was a professor who believed in you, a friendship that became part of your life, or an opportunity that gave you the courage to imagine a different future.

Today, we can help create that moment for someone else.

Over the past few years, our Taiwanese alumni community has made its mark in giving back to Columbia. Your generosity has helped build a tradition we can be proud of. Today is another chance to carry it forward, together.

We invite you to begin with the funds that connect Taiwan and Columbia—and consider supporting the school that shaped your own journey, too.

**Giving Opportunities**

1. CAA Taiwan Engineering Scholarship Fund

Let Taiwan’s spirit of generosity reach the next generation of engineers. Through this fund, our Taiwan alumni community turns its shared connection into scholarship support at Columbia Engineering. Your gift carries that legacy forward and shows what our community can make possible together.

Help keep Taiwan at the heart of meaningful conversations at Columbia. Supporting this lecture series at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute creates opportunities for students and scholars to deepen their understanding of Taiwan and its place in the world.
