The John Jay Associates are the leadership donors of Columbia College. Their generosity and dedication to Columbia College provides inspiration to fellow alumni, parents and friends.

The mission of the Columbia College Young Leaders Council (YLC) is to help the Columbia College Fund achieve its ambitious goals in support of financial aid, the Core Curriculum, student internships and student services by building a strong foundation of young alumni leadership donors.

The 1754 society is the University's honorary society for alumni and friends of Columbia who have made future plans for the University through trust, estate, or other future gifts. Named for the year in which King's College was established, the Society recognizes the vital role benefactors have played over the centuries in Columbia's emergence as a preeminent educational institution and the role they play today in ensuring its continued preeminence.
