Giving
Help us build a better world with data science and AI
Join us in driving real-world impact, pushing the frontiers of discovery, and training socially responsible data and AI leaders.
Why Give to the Data Science Institute?
At Columbia, we believe that tackling society’s most urgent challenges requires more than technical innovation—it demands the collective insight of social scientists, policymakers, journalists, legal scholars, architects, engineers, public health experts, and many others.
By supporting DSI, you strengthen Columbia’s leadership in data science and AI while ensuring that discovery, education, and ethical responsibility advance hand in hand. With Columbia’s unmatched breadth across disciplines and DSI’s proven ability to turn insight into action, your gift drives solutions where they are needed most.
Gifts to DSI help us to:
- Advance research in areas of urgent public need—spanning health care, education, social justice, and cybersecurity
- Fund hands-on student research through programs like DSI Scholars, supporting undergraduates and master’s students as they explore careers in tech, policy, health, and academia
- Prepare the domestic workforce for the AI era by supporting scholarships and educational programs that expand access to data science and AI training across critical sectors
- Build interdisciplinary teams and seed new collaborations across Columbia’s schools and research centers, including initiatives in smart cities, financial analytics, media and society, and computing infrastructure
