Endowment

A Transformative $7 Million Gift

The CHR received a $7 million gift, in the form of an endowment, from C. Kenneth Grailer ’53, part of an $11.5 million gift to the Cornell Nolan School. This generous support propels us toward our CHR 2.0 vision, enabling impactful research and thought leadership in the hospitality sector.

Thank you to our board members, leadership team, and partners for your invaluable support. Together, we’re shaping the future of hospitality research and innovation.
